It is. The game is beautifully elegant in its design.Originally Posted by NeoCracker
I was essentailly able to clear the prologue...
With one death.
I am now playing on hard.
I'm giving myself up to chapter 3 to where I will restart the map if I lose someone, but I've pretty much got down the Pair Up system, the Rock/Paper/Scissors style combat, magic, and archery already. It's all pretty damn simple actually.
That doesn't mean that it isn't hard as hell when it wants to be. Lunatic throws you up against enemies with stats quite a bit higher than yours, and you need to know the systems, and how to apply them. How to read and manipulate attack ranges, when and who to Pair Up, when to play defensively and rely on Counters, and how to use your skills effectively. It takes knowledge, strategy, and some luck.
And when you beat it the game gives you Lunatic+ mode, which just says "Fair and balanced? What's that?". And don't get me started on Castle Apotheosis.
But you're having fun now, right?
Oh, and after Chapter Four, you can grind if you want to. DLCs, SpotPass units, and random monsters/Reeking Boxes.
