You could only use it if you were alone, any enemies around and it's useles... it'd be the same in Sword of Mana -- you couldn't switch with enemies around without taking damage, really, and you can't do that so pausing is really the only viable option... and you can't have everything on the main level of the pause menu because there are a bunch of options you need to put there and I really like them putting them all on one menu system instead of using two or three like previous Mana games. :)
