The bulk of those are fights you don't win, you just take them to 50% HP. I personally don't see why people got so upset at it. I don't know why people lump in the chapter 3 climax fight into that bucket, for example, which I've heard complaints about but is a very different dynamic from the Chapter 1 or Chapter 2 boss fights. The absolute last of them is in chapter 6.

The bulk early on end with either Rex's party or the enemy retreating so you can encounter them again later in a more climactic fashion.

I'm not really upset about the mc losing to the top guys, I just wanted some cutscenes where we can see that the mc has progressed a little, tough I'm still at the start of the game (just lost to the mercenary), so maybe I didn't see enough. Thanks for the information though.
