well i wasn't thinking of making it possible to have a shitton of familiars like IN does, just 1 person that comes in and just shoots bullets in a bosses spellcard.
each boss doesn't have to have one(and i'd like it if only a few had one, honestly), and i think that the familiars should be just appear in 1 boss fight.
and even more technically, you can shoot the familiars in IN also :V
and from now on we should refer to the playable character's partners as "playable partner" instead of familiar, for the sake of all of our sanity.
