Huh, and out of nowhere I'm suddenly able to stomp the floor and the boss like a champ.
Could it be I'm being forced to improve? Quite possibly! Anyway, this gives me renewed hope for the rest of this dungeon, I'm over the hump!

Oh yeah, and I'm not playing on evil, or even hard for that matter. >_>
On anything above moderate, enemies on the 4th floor and beyond kill in a single touch. I'm willing to take blame if I get instagibbed, but I can't have my party members dropping like flies every 3 seconds. Not even sure what I'm supposed to do about that, it seems kinda out of my control. >_>

Don't suppose you have the Book of Audacity on, do you? Enemy crits usually insta kill if you do.

If not, maybe try the book that halves the damage you take.

Nah, the only books I'm using are for cooking/eleth growth puposes.
And yeah, the half damage book isn't worth it. I'm not really sure what else to do though, since I'm like level 84, I should be around the right level to tackle this, but yeesh.

Start masterin those titles


Mastering doesn't really do anything. >_>
As for rank 5 though, I'm pretty much rank 5 with every title with every character, so I don't think it's that!

Unless I'm mistaken, mastering only increases the effect of the title equip effect, not the effects of the skills. Am I wrong about that?

No, I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
Honestly the only point to mastering seems to be unlocking mastery titles and mastery SP bonuses in NG+.

Man, this is weird. It's like it's too easy on moderate, but as soon as I switch it to hard all the monsters go "FRESH MEAT" and shoot lasers that fry the rest of my party. I have no idea. I'll just play Chaos on my NG+ to make up for this, maybe if you play the harder difficulties from the beginning your stats/levels "catch up" better or something.

hard makes the chests in that dungeon better.

and when you beat that ex dungeon, the grade you get for beating the transformed original final boss before starting your ng+ changes significantly depending on your difficulty.

Yeah, I know hard makes the chests better, it's just that it's not really worth having to use 6 life bottles to get through a regular encounter. I'll probably have to do it anyway later for farming the ultimate spheres, but yeah.
As for grade, I'm pretty much in the clear already. I checked a floor or two ago and I could already afford pretty much everything I wanted, by now I should be well beyond what I need.

You can start up NG+ without actually saving anything, it just loads your data. Since grade shop is the first thing you do, you can just pop in there to check your progress.
Also Zhonecage update, I totally sodomized the second floor on hard, so I guess I'm getting better? Floor 3 and 4 are bleck, so I guess I'm just gonna grind 5 until I can handle that too.

Welp, not progressing THAT much, I guess! Totally got destroyed on my first fight in floor 5 on hard again. How can it be that much of a difference? It's a joke on moderate but on hard they tap Cheria and Sophie to death in seconds, then two hit combo me. >_>
Edit: Oddly enough, I'm managing floor 6 on hard semi-decently. I'm sure this'll start making sense at some point.

And it's so good, too.

I mean, damn, it's a real shame that the story and atmosphere are so mediocre, because the character interactions (though not necessarily the characters), the humor, the gameplay, and the amount of content is so much better than Vesperia and Abyss, but I still can't bring myself to rank it above them.

Zhonecage progress update, this time good news!
Okay, so I guess floor 5 is just stupidly annoying with its regular enemies for some reason, because I cleaned house on every floor all the way down to 9 on hard no sweat. Well, I lost to Reala on hard, but she didn't seem unbeatable, she just has a BOATLOAD of health and she starts 1HKOing party members with 2 second Air Pressure casts once she drops below 50%, it's kinda annoying. Probably doable though.

Nah, not really. I actually just finished gathering up all the spheres. The spawn rate for them is pretty abysmal, just keep at it. If you get sick of actually doing runs you can just holy bottle + book of swiftness it up and run through/reload if you don't get anything. That's what I did around my 7th battle with Cedric 2.0 >_>
