Great damn game. Unfortunately suffers from the inverted RPG difficulty curve where it can seem insanely hard when you don't know what you're doing, then becomes way too easy once you do know what you're doing. Also has the very crappy fake difficulty meme mechanic late into the game, Absolute Defense, which should have simply been replaced with higher boss HP pools. Too bad, Crapcom really loved shit like this around that time which pervaded Dragon Quarter but even worse, Rockman Exe/MMBN with that "aura" shit. It's artificial difficulty by definition and doesn't do an effective job testing what it was meant to in DQ (do you know how to combo decently/did you find Nina's AP gift skill to feed double turns to Lin).
What DQ really needed was a separate arrange mode or something for expert players that cranks up the challenge for the entirety of the main game, disables SOL carryover, nerfs some of the easy money/exp opportunities you can abuse (Rafflesia, Jack Box, Kanaphage), disables gold EXP, nerfs the Ant Colony, and some other shit.
