Out of curiosity, when does the game get seriously difficult? I'm at Chapter 18 right now and I have probably only lost groups 5 times total so I haven't been close to defeat at all. Chapters are taking 60-90 minutes each right now. I'm really enjoying the game. I don't think there has ever been an RPG I've played before where I don't really care what the story is. The gameplay alone makes this one of the best game I've played on my 3DS.
