I wish there was a way for me to turn on the Draconian difficulty stuff without having to restart. Combat's too easy.

try underlevelling. i played the game approx. 7-8 levels underlevelled without any difficulty modifiers and it was pretty challenging .. especially the post game

since the encounters arent random its easily done too .. if you get caught by an ambush or while sailing just fight the monsters and ignore the rest and that will keep you right

yeah i was doing that though the second half of the game screws it up because everyone returns to the party leveled up so now it's easy again

Let's talk about where you're going.
The music is really disappointing.

it's pretty phoned in compared to the scope of everything else in the game, like there's one town theme for 12 different towns

i went in expecting to hate it for that reason but it actually sounds fine and instead i dislike it because there's not enough variety

i'd be more interested in a mod that adds in a bunch of music from other games

Yeah the Hotto theme kicks rear end and when I heard it I was hoping other towns would have throwback themes like that

The songs are kinda short too so they repeat all the time

a lot of the new songs aren't very good. this is probably becasue they were written by a 90 year old man who can't stop talking about how gays and koreans need to be tossed into tokyo bay, and how you need to lock up chinese ppl in shuttered yodabashi cameras [japanese version of walmart....good place for a black site]. the sound fonts for the sequenced score are also absolutely awful. the default snes trumpet sound from almost 30 years ago sounds better

the magic key boss fight on harder monsters is the most hosed up yet, her finger flicks always crit and its a garunteed 1hko on everyone but the hero and jade, her laser beams do 80 damage, normala attack deos 80 damage, and she gets 3 moves and still moves before me most of the time even with decelerate and accelerate thank yo u game

that one was prob the 2nd hardest boss I've fought so far, i found the ice witch harder. most of the 2nd half bosses have been easy in comparison

I played on Normal and it becomes a decent challenge after the midway point.

Postgame is more like a final chapter than bonus content. It's like a third of the game
