This game gets ridiculously hard once you enter the Warship, and then it stays that way.
The reason is - status effects!
How on earth am I supposed to survive when the monsters keep throwing STON8 and other crap that always hits?
I've tried increasing the Status Defense for all characters, but they still get inflicted like, a lot.
The worst dungeon is hands down the Whirlwind - if you don't flood the Item list with Softs, you're doomed.
Don't tell me I have to train Status Defense for five hours every time I replay the game. -.-
