Battle rank is roughly a measure of the number of enemies you've beaten, it's NOT a measure of your strength. Each of your soldiers have a bunch of different stats, and they level up independently of each other. To level up a stat you have to use it in battle. If you want a strong fighter have one soldier only use combat arts. If you want a strong healer have one soldier only use healing magic, and so on.

Enemies have a battle rank number of their own. Strong enemies typically have a high BR, while weak enemies have a low BR. You gain stats in battle based on the difference between your BR and the enemy BR. Thus in general fighting a strong enemy (high BR) will significantly improve your stats with each battle. Fighting weak enemies (low BR) will hardly improve your stats at all.

Since the players BR slowly increases with each battle regardless of the enemy strength, this makes it increasingly harder to find enemies that will boost your stats as you progress through the game. Eventually your BR will reach a point where you won't be able to improve your stats at all anymore. And if you mostly fought weak enemies up until this point, you may not be strong enough to beat the final bosses.

To play this game properly do the following from the start of the game:

1) If on PC: Un-install the game.
2) Return the game and get your money back for this borked system!

I corrected your quote for you.

 

Folks, don't waste your time with a system that broken!  What you are telling me is that the best way to play the game is to experience the absolute LEAST amount of content!  This is simply a retardedly broken game play mechanic.  Do not waste your time, and even more importantly, make sure to return your product to hit Square in the nuts and tell them it's just plain stupid!  I just started the game...dug around online and found this information out...and am saving myself the headache and uninstalling right now, heh.
