[quote name='Chacrana']The third Kalpa is where the difficulty really seemed to pick up. At least, that's when I started getting really nervous about venturing for too long without saving. That's also when the Kalpas get really interesting though... God, I can't believe the original Japanese release didn't have Amala... it seems like such an integral part of the game.[/quote]
I don't know why, but the game just doesn't seem that difficult anymore. Once you get War Cry, Fog Breath, and give your demons a Bright/Dark Might skill, most bosses are pretty easy (Unless they void or drain physical attacks).
Except the Trumpeteer is kicking my ass, any tips for that one? I try and get one demon's HP low, but then he just ends up getting killed by a -dyne spell, and then the protagonist gets killed by Evil Melody.
