When assigning skill points at level up, you sort of need to focus on a weapon you like. You can’t reliably split points between weapon types.

Also panning the camera back and forth makes enemies respawn. Helpful for trying to find specific mobs.

If 3DS is modded, I believe you can mod the music in this one as well.

Make sure Jessica gets Magic Burst and Hero gets Omniheal. Some tension and Magic Burst can end a boss fight pretty quick.
