However, Impact must pay the full price for CC&C despite the plot forcing Irene to not be in the party. Additionally, he can only use it once per turn.

Come to think of it, Geminex, how do you feel about shifting CC&C to Sakuya from the sequel onwards? Rayleen and Irene won't be around for reasons that I don't want to spoil plotwise at that time.
That depends where I want to go with Impact's character relationships. Relationship techs' original purpose was to demonstrate emotional bonds between characters. I'll see how his relationship with Sakuya develops.

And I'm honestly gonna have to ask here: Why can't he use it twice? It really doesn't make much sense, gameplay-wise. In a larger-scale battle, using it once would give him 5 extra attacks. Just as, in a larger scale battle, using Hellfire (Pierce's technique) would let Pierce hit three targets.

In a smaller-scale battle, cost and effectiveness get reduced, to 2 extras for 30 rage.
Now, I'm perfectly open to the fact that the cost/effect relationship may be a bit skewed. Hell, I'm one of the people who go around saying that it is.

But it just seems weird to limit its usage to 1 per turn. If I have the rage, why not use it? It's not any stronger than it'd be in a full-scale battle.

And if you're saying that its effectiveness gets multiplied because those 5 attacks are spread over far fewer targets, then that applies to other techniques as well. Hellfire hitting 3 targets in a formation of 12 enemies is way weaker than it hitting 3 out of 6. You're not saying that hellfire's effectiveness and cost get halved, and it can only be used once per turn.

Because that would be stupid. But for some reason, you're doing it to CCC. I'm arbitrarliy getting nerfed because I have a technique that scales with battle size. Despite the fact that, while creating that technique, I specifically made sure it'd be as strong in small battles as it is in large battles.
So what gives?

As for the evoliths, eh. Fair enough. Not like we're gonna have many 100-rage engineers. But please, let's not apply that retroactively, kay? That is to say, let the plan just be.
