Just beat the game tonight on 100% Hard Mode. As usual, Chapter's 8, 9, and 10 bosses were complete bullpomegranate and stupidly hard until I killed the two small minions, then the fights became extremely easy.

The game took a huge spike upward in difficulty after chapter 9. Every enemy in chapter 10 was capable of doing 100-120+ damage every turn (Sometimes critting for 200-250 damage) and when your entire party, except for a couple, has around 300ish HP, it leads to rather frustrating times. I ended up ignoring probably 80% of the monster battles, because of how dumb they were.

The most frustrating part about Hard Mode was the chapter 9 and 10 boss damage. They both had a "rare" attack that was basically a 1-shot attack for 99% of the party (Basically 400+ damage single target). So glad Onegus basically laughs at everything once you super buff him from his own moves and Tristis' buffs.

Game Over'd 5 times in total, 3 from boss battles and 2 from chapter 10 battles. Going to attempt to finish the rest of the sidequests and whatnot before starting New Game+ tomorrow.
After the crash that occurred for me last night, I took every opportunity after every boss fight to save and backup my save file to a USB flashdrive. Needless to say I never once crashed again.

I was waiting for this post, haha. I thought "no, no, let her find out"

I was so tempted to post this.

I just raped the chapter 8 boss fight by using Aurora's All Light Ray and Oengus' taunt/defense skill/defend. I don't know why it worked so much better the second time but it did. It healed once but it didn't really matter because the 88 damage it healed for didn't compare to the 300+ aoe damage Aurora dealt.
About to fight the chapter 9 boss.

Still only game over'd twice. Once from a random encounter because I sucked reallllyyy hard and was kind of on tilt, and once in chapter 8. ;_;

I'm getting angry at the few coffers I've missed in each of the areas. WHERE ARE YOU. HOW DO I GET YOU. HOW DID I MISS YOU. WERE YOU SOME OF THOSE BULLpomegranate CHESTS HIDDEN INSIDE THE WALLS THAT NOBODY CAN SEE? UGH.

And I almost have everyone tricked out with the Brilliant Oculi that I want to get them so I'm pretty happy about that.
Diamonds, Onyx, and Spinels aren't necessarily as great as I had expected them to be :/

So...how do I save? Tongue

EDIT:
Oh! Are those discs of white
to the bottom-right
an auto-save icon?
If so, then I may move on!

Also I learned how to play the flute song on the ocarina and it's all the yes.

Edit: oh, wait is this actually chapter 10 or something?
Is this the last boss fight? I figured there would be like a penultimate boss or something?

Forty-five this game was for me
With that price I know it won't last
Yet for being past Chapter Three
The adventure thus far has been a blast

Seeing all of you gush about this game convinced me to buy it too and for how short it is the game's atmosphere and design has to be among the best I've seen in years (It reminds me of Odin Sphere to be honest), and the throwback to Grandia's battle system definitely helps. My only real problem is that the rhyming leaves something to be desired, and considering it does everything else so beautifully that's a very minor complaint.

WHICH BOSS BATTLE?!

Also from what I've read about NG+, enemies scale stupidly hard, especially on Hard Mode. People been dubbing NG+ Hard Mode as "Extreme Mode" and have been getting game over at chapter 2/3/4.

The last one. I got the "you can't slow down these enemies hurr durr" glitch like 3 times in a row so the battle was pretty much a game over from the start. Ended up with like 8 game overs because of it.
Ended up beating it with some lucky counter attacks from Aurora so yay.

The credits song is fucking fantastic.

Also after the credits the Queen of Light and Igniculus were talking and Igniculus said something like "but she didn't talk to you"...was I supposed to talk to her while she was on the altar? It wouldn't let me, every time I tried. :/

Exact same thing I said. I basically said "I couldn't talk to her, because there wasn't any option to do so!"

Also after the initial game over against the final boss, I immediately made Onegus and Aurora have Faceted+ Light gems and wrecked face on the small minions. Onegus was critting for 1200 damage against them. After the minions died, it got to the point where Aurora / Rubella and Onegus perma shutdown the final boss. Infinite interrupting too stronk.

Found this humorous, obviously the patch will do more than just this, but funny nonetheless.
THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

Quote:An upcoming patch for Ubisoft Montreal's Japanese role-playing game-inspired Child of Light will rename the title's two difficulty settings from "normal" and "hard" to "casual" and "expert,"

Child of Light - MariettaRC - 2014-05-03

Welp, just beat it. It was an all around beautiful experience. I never got Gen, though, because I was dumb and never went back to her after beating that boss. TIME FOR NEW GAME+.

The ending credits music, though... ;__; <3

I just saw this after trying to avoid spoilers.

This was how I was able to continuously use Finn's OP spells without needing to worry about MP. I actually did not know about that in Hard Mode and that (and everything else I've read) makes me fear playing it.

Child of Light - Dark Link - 2014-05-03

Played around a bit with NG+ on "Casual" mode, but stopped shortly after getting the Rubella. Will most likely go back to "Expert" mode just to see how bad I get my ass kicked with the super enemy scaling.

I noticed the game seems to have a rather high chance of crashing after beating the game and/or starting NG+. Just from getting all of the confessions, finishing all of the side-quests, and playing through NG+ for an hour, the game has crashed 4 times within that timeframe. Hopefully the upcoming patch will reduce the crashing, even though it's from Sony's end.

Child of Light - y0y0y0y0shi0 - 2014-05-03

The crashes have happened with numerous other games too. It's a ps4 issue. A similar thing happens all the time in the web browser too.

Child of Light - Dark Link - 2014-05-03

Yeah I read about it being a common occurrence with select games, but it seems so weird that it's ONLY a few select games and every other game is perfectly fine. I never had it happen to me out of all the hours of playing Infamous and Knack, but suddenly it's a common thing with Child of Light.
