[Mivereous]

PvE enemies seem to be more focused on Player Characters than 'Others' (Mercs/Shine Knights/Summons (Youkai/Butterflies)/etc). It's almost as if the 'Others' have a psuedo-Incognito; if an enemy is in range to attack an Other, then it will attack, then move towards the nearest PC. The only example I can think of this not happening is in the instance of the

Ashe/Seto/PC fight, in which Seto seemed eager to attack just whoever was closest, rather than focusing on the PC, in my experience.
