Yeah, the party members have completely horrible AI sometimes. Like, I was giving the point of no return a go yesterday, and I almost had <boss name> beat, then I accidentally died but with 2 party members standing and full Party Gauge... and instead of reviving me, they go hack at the boss while it charges a devastating attack that obviously kills them both.
The absolute worst thing is when you're fighting something near a ledge though, and your party members manage to FALL OFF to their death. Many long ardurous fights against unique monsters have been ended by Sharla or Melia suddenly deciding to take a dive. It's probably because they're programmed to keep away from the enemy, so they backstep right off the edge sometimes.
Another tragically hilarious AI fail happened today - Sharla(again) suddenly decided to RUN AWAY from a tough battle, and she had the aggro... so what happens? She lures the monster away outside its range, and I lose 15 minutes of hacking on a monster that's 10 levels higher than me. Augh!
