in E1 i feel like yokai also were super shitty and unfun to play for the most part, but the difference was that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. the fact that any gremlin had the potential to become a demi-god with a sick ass demon sword was actually pretty cool, and super spooky when it did happen. it gave each growing yokai the feeling of them being a festering wound on the world, with a real sense of urgency in taking them down. that was really cool in my opinion!
E3 monsters aren't designed to have progression like that, they're specifically meant to start out strong with the tools to be small-time antagonists and not progress much beyond that. which is.. cool, i guess. it serves it's own purpose, and it's obviously a different thing going on with it's own design philosophy. but man, i wish there was something like yokai again. probably to exist separately from monsters, but yeah.
