This came out in NA today, last week on EU, and yesterday on Steam, if anyone's gotten it.
Shamefully, I still haven't finished since I practically played none at all over the summer, and being constantly destroyed was demotivating. I stopped at the boss for the Trial of Wind. Got it down to its last like 5k HP and Game Over'ed because it summons adds. Adds that exist in the dungeon there that I intentionally skipped because they were too hard.
A few tips:
Martial > Spells > Hidden > Martial
Martial Artes will stagger spells. Spells will resist Hidden Artes. Hidden Artes will resist Martial Artes I think.
You can use a Side/Forward/Back step on your final action to cancel the delay for your next set of actions.
Armatization is pretty ezmode.
Getting 4 Equipment Skills in a row gives you the Stat+ on level up skill; i.e. 4 Horizontal Void gives you Attack+ on level up, something useful if you're a min-maxer.
Combined encounters have a higher chance to drop equipment, and give more Grade/Gald/EXP, but for each monster on the field, you get +10 enemy level or something like that.
IIRC, higher difficulties lower the EXP you get as well as increases monster's levels
The chance of getting equipment drops gets lower as your inventory becomes more full
There's a special system regarding Equipment skills and Lord of the Lands (I think it's on gamefaqs). Basically, after fusing an item to +10, you can bless it at a Lord of the Land into a better version of that item at +0. By offering this new item to the Lord of the Land, you get +1% chance for whatever is in the first skill slot to drop with a double bonus in one slot. i.e. [Attack]x2. If you do this with a +99 of this item, you get a 100% chance for double bonus on that skill.
You cannot get a double skill equipment drop if you're on a lower difficulty than the difficulty you have the highest amount of battles in.
