I'm kind of burnt out on the whole every-enemy-requires-multiple-hits-to-kill shtick. And what's with numbers popping up on every hit? That's too much pointless screen clutter. On top of that, imagine how much more speed they could get out of the graphics pipeline if they got rid of all that crap. I get that it was a part of SOTN, but I hated it even back then. I dig the art style and totally fell in love with the backgrounds and enemy designs, but they need to fire whoever decided to put damage numbers into the battle mechanics like that.
