I recently picked this up. I'm loving it. Fantastic game, surprised it's fully voiced. I have a question though, is the game supposed to be hard? I found it kinda easy at first once I got a grasp of the battle system, however when I got to the Wind Crystal Boss he wrecked my shit, big time. I had to change some jobs, ended up using an OP Net Friend summon which did like 2k damage to each part of him, another summon with a great Rejuvenation. I tanked up all my characters, bought the best available gear for 3 of them as Knights because otherwise they were taking too much damage, used two Bravely Second points... and still just managed to win through brute force, I was barely surviving. Should I be grinding? The only time I turn off encounters is when leaving a dungeon or when scrounging a floor for a missed chest. I think everyone was around level 19 or so. The followup sub-quest boss fight in Anchiem was easy in comparison, probably because I switched Agnes to a White Mage primary and I could just heal through so much stuff. I dunno, the game seems oddly balanced. The victory against Orthos or whatever felt cheap. Now I'm in the Miasma Forest and these mushroom dudes man... jesus. It's very rarely I've spent all of my mana just healing up to now, to the point where I had to leave the dungeon half way through to resupply/sleep/save. So the difficulty seems up and down, it's hard to judge. Sometimes I feel OP using invigorate/stomp with two of my characters, just wiping out everything in one turn, then other times it's like... am I doing something wrong here? I've tried leveling up other classes but it seems like a party of Knight/Monk, Monk/Knight, Filler, White Mage/Whatever is the way to go.
