Alright, I restarted this game two days ago, and the first day I played until I got Layla and reached Dist.
Now here's the problem: Dist Cave is ridiculously hard.
I mean, I breezed through everything else, except for the Gigant chest in the Warship, and now I suddenly have to run around in a huge cave consisting of tons of those Gigants? WTF?
I've been leveling up for quite a while by fighting Soldiers in Phin, and I even got some great equipment from Mysidia (Ice Bow ftw!), but I'm still having GIGANT-ic problems with this Dist Cave thingy.
What do the developers want me to do, anyway?
Am I supposed to start power-leveling now, all of a sudden?
How did YOU complete this thing, without using the cheap Select/Cancel glitch and whatever?

(I don't wanna use the glitches, the game gets a completely different feeling if you let Stats develop by themselves)
