I am only like 2 Hours in, and i was kinda frustrated, getting my ass handed to me by elite-enemies, but the game is really fun so far. (The only thing that REALLY bugged me was how BAD the game looks on a HD TV.. i shouldnt have thrown my old one away... BUT i think it wont hurt the experience in the long run, i had the same problem with Persona4 after all, and P4 turned out to be my Favourite Game of all time regardless.)

Nah skip the strong guys. The enemies you face in an hour award more exp then those guys in the cave, and you come back to the cave at a higher level not much later anyway.

When I played this myself it took me 2 hours to get passed the cave, when my girlfriend played (and she is much worse then me at this game) she took an hour and ten minutes, with me telling her to skip those guys. At the 3 hour point for her, and the 4 hour point for me, we had the same level and amount of story completion, and she did end up taking down those guys.

Experience is exponential in this game. If you're level 10 and kill a level 5 guy you get 1 or 2 exp, where a level 5 guy gets 28 exp. They made the game so it's always somewhat challenging, no matter how much you grind.
