If you're going after a high score, yeah. Go naked. If you're going after items/unlocks, it does you good to go in with all your abilities, especially the boss-killer abilities (Omnislash, Ninjutsu, etc) so you can face multiple bosses in one run.
You won't be able to face more than one boss on a consistent basis while ungeared.
It's a bit of a trade-off.
My game seems to have a weird bug. I haven't played through all of the series yet, but two of the ones I have not played randomly got an "auto save" icon over them.
Out of curiosity, I started one of series that had the auto save icon and it resumed on the second song, even though I'd never touched the first one. When I finished the song set, it said I got a D on the first song.
Has this happened to anyone else? I have no idea why it thinks I stopped in the middle of two song sets that I hadn't even started yet!

lol at Cagnazzo SD form. I'm surprised they didnt use the normal boss battle for FFIV, but I guess that might have broken some touch screens. I think it would be nice if the DLC tracks added new enemies though. Say actually fighting Golbez -> Zemus -> Zeromus to FFIV final boss theme.

If I hadn't passed out because of exhaustion I probably would have been up there figuring out passwords last night.

Just got this and played through a couple of the sets of songs on the series mode and I'm not entirely sure who to have in my party. Once you pick a party are you pretty much locked in to using them or is it fine to change them later on?
As far as I can tell the difficulty level (the No. XX) of Dark Notes you unlock is an average of your party level when you unlocked it.
Also I feel this bears repeating in that there is no downside or penalty to wearing equipment/items when playing Chaos Shrine, go nuts! Dark Notes do not have the scoring limitation that Series/Challenge does (I've gotten SS on Dark Notes with full gear on), and even if they did it doesn't matter because it doesn't keep track of any scores or ranks you earn, it only keeps track of the bosses that you've fought and any of their drops that you have unlocked.
On a related note though, does anyone know exactly HOW songs are made harder in Dark Notes based on the No. level? Like I have Mambo de Chocobo at both a No. 05 and a No. 42 or so and I don't really notice any difference. Are there like invisible No. benchmarks that just bump things up to the next level or something?

Does MV. signify how intense a dark note is going to be? Seems that way to me, the ones that are low are easy, and I've got one that's 93 and it's outrageously hard.
Also this advice needs to be repeated; Use low level characters on unplayed dark notes to unlock easier dark notes, then grind those low level dark notes with your higher level characters to get item drops and shards.

Heh at least you don't hear battle with the four fiends every time you see the word elemental.
No, the "No. xx" indicates difficulty (at least apparently). The "Mv. xx" indicates which two songs you will get. I don't have the list handy, but unfortunately the game only pulls 20 songs into this mode (and no DLC ;_
, with the first digit meaning one song and the second another.

Ahh okay, cheers for clarifying that, makes sense now!

Yes....whatever you are >_>
And someone from Gamefaqs explained the Mv. numbers (with song listings)

Rad, I'd seen that list but I didn't have the list of songs that are ONLY in Chaos Shrine (which is stupid, but whatever), thanks!

I thought the field sections had game-specific backgrounds?
They do. As do the battle scenes.
Well, it's possible. I've only done FF1 and 2 and they looked pretty much the same. They also put me on a chocobo in FF1, which is another thing I didn't like. Seems like I'm the only person who has a problem with this though.
I'm talking more about the enemies and summons and stuff in battles, which don't line up with the games at all.

Wait until you play the FFXII and FFXIII fields, you will see a big difference.
*edit
Enemies don't line up at all. I was also disappointed by this.
Yeah, the bosses do. I appreciated seeing Hyne and Zande in the FF3 battle.
Yes. I played it for the first time in March and it immediately became one of my favorites.

Anyone want to help me out, what bosses drop Orange shards? I've been grinding all evening trying to get Vivi but I can't seem to find any bosses that drop them.

I think that was the intent of the original since the first few notes matched up then, but it's still rather sweet.Few things:
- Was playing the Ultimate Score for Aerith's Theme and
the way the first few beats mimic the matetia falling outta her and bouncing around was a brilliant, unexpected, little touch!
Anyway, back to the crystal grind with me.
If you take every skill and ability off your characters you will no longer get summons or chocobos.
You also won't get the extended bit on event battles.
Indeed. But I guess we should be thankful we got this game at all.
The localization is pretty solid anyway, outside of the event scenes. They did good work on those battle cries!
Yes, I'm back, the allure was too great
I don't know how feasible it would have been. . . They'd have to redo the footage outright. Then there's having to splice up assets for domestic/different versions of 2 and 3. . .
Would have been hilarious if they used the DS remake of 3.
I can think of a pretty easy way to do it. When they were recording footage of the Japanese games, they could have created something akin to emulator movies, like the ones used for TAS videos, and then they could have played them back on the English versions as well, and it would not have added a dramatic amount of work. Honestly, there are always ways to automate stuff like this. Obviously that doesn't work too well for 2 and 3, but they could have kept those in Japanese or just simply translated the screens they showed in a video editor/image editor.

Man, after not getting a game over once throughout all of expert, ultimate is REALLY kicking my ass.

You can lower the volume of those in the game settings.
Whoa! And even turn them off! Makes the game so much better.

No longer have a major issue with slide trigger inputs (thank goodness)
Now I have a major problem with trigger inputs for the Event Music Stages in the latter titles in general. Holy hell, the number of greats and goods I keep getting seems to increase each time. It's really getting on my nerves

Is there a list of rhythmia song unlocks somewhere? I really want to play Gurgu Volcano.
15k rhythmia.
15k rhythmia.
Absolutely. I'm in the same boat as you and this game is pure joy. It's inspiring me to play a real FF game, even.
Go for it!
