pro tip for MMX7: to preserve some sanity while playing this game play Flame Hyenard with Japanese voices enabled.

The boss fight wasn’t nearly as bad as what i assume the english version would have been, and the Japanese VA’s sound more fitting to the characters compared to the English VA’s IMO. So if you’re crazy enough to play this game at least switch to Japanese for this one boss, even if you want to play the rest in English.
