Only problem there is that every fight is winnable and if you beat them you get special rewards.
There's scripted losses in the story, yes, but every fight is "winnable" and if you beat particularly difficult fights even though it's not "cannon" you'll gain special rewards.
An example of some of those fights would be the first version of the final boss of the Misty Woods area (when your party fights them the FIRST time in that mission, not the second)
It's less of a scripted loss, more of a "you don't NEED to beat this if you don't want to", but you CAN and you WILL be rewarded for it.
There's not many though, I think there's one in Misty Woods, one in Magic Weavers (though in my first playthrough I didn't even realize it was "unbeatable" because I got first try), I can't remember if there's one in Little Shroom City or not, but I don't think so, one when you visit Calamity Overlook the first time (Which I believe is the only one that's not replayable), and there's one final one in the final main mission.
Keep in mind, they're not true scripted losses, they're more like optional super bosses, all of which are beatable, yes, even on your first attempt when you first encounter them.
If you're fine with missing out on rewards, then yeah, you can just lose, but you WILL miss out on those rewards and on alternative dialogue/scenes.

The ony one i could not beat at the story level was the pumpkin queen in Misty woods but thats due story wise. All other fights you could beat if you trained enough in my play through. Although i was also not able to deafeat Th`uban in Hayakawa at that time i first visited that place xD

I did defeat Th`uban in Hayakawa but my hunter level did not increase is that a bug or just normal?
I did defeat it after i got in calamity overlook dunno if thats due the story?
Actually you can even beat Pumpkin Queen first try, it just takes a very specific strategy to do so, of course, you can always do it later in the story and replay it, but it takes some of the main challenge away when you just over level for it and come back.
The early game strategy involves using the MC's counter ability, Bessie to lower her health SLIGHTLY (but not so much that she goes into rage) and then buffing and defending until you try to kill her with one attack from the MC. (or whoever does the most damage overall at that time)

Haha good thinking Ballistic, i did start a new play through yesterday and will test your strategy out
I will say, it's kind of RNG, since you might need a high roll on your damage, and that's just the rough outlines-Haha good thinking Ballistic, i did start a new play through yesterday and will test your strategy out
I do have like a step by step guide from the game guide I was working on if you want that, includes all the armor and weapons that I at least used for it-
It's not a guaranteed win, but if you're doing it right with multiple attempts, you WILL get it.

Thanks mate, but i will try to do it on my own ^^ like the first time i played this great game i picked RPG Master mode and i managed to beat it 100% without cheats (although i had to grind at some parts xD ) but i always thoughed pumq was a guaranteed story based loss, but i will find a way to beat her now for sure ^^
Yeah, I was surprised to find out that ALL fights are beatable (even if you don't technically "win" in the story).
The challenges in this game are top tier for people that wanna actually strategize.
just started playing this game and made it past the point where u make the choice to side with or fight against Eris, Someone please spoil me with an answer to these questions: Has Ray been tricking us this whole time? Did we not actually form a bond yet? Has her coming with us just been a job to her the whole time?
I just really want to know before I continue cuz that might hit me in the feels. I'd rather someone just tell me what's up with her so I know what to expect and can mentally prepare for it.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me relevant info.

@AlexofthePond: On my first playthrough i was like you
If you want my advise make 2 save games, one where you decline Eris and see what happens, and another save game where you agree.
Go for the decline Eris one first and see what happens.
After that you can pick up the other one
Cant say more without spoilers sry ^^
Btw the Ray part will be sorted out soon dont worry

Creating two save files is not that necessary if you decide to pick the "decline Eris" route since that allow you to backtrack to that very moment were you make you decision anyway.
Of corse you can pick the other option even if the event is written in a way that incentives you in the opposite direction, still creating new save files at each "pick one" section is a must if you really want to enjoy everything.
I always find it a little funny when players that goes around playing games like this using only 1 savefile or the autosave until something unexpected happens and they loose 6 hours of progress or something like that, live and learn I guess.
No difference aside from supporting the creator, and being able to more easily access and write steam guides for the game.
The dev basically gives all their games away for free, and only asks that people support them if they can afford it.
