Trying the game now.

Melusine on Hard is....pretty damn hard. Aeroga basically OHKOs everyone on my team, even Knight Tiz at level 6.

Melusine is the stupid cat in the desert, right? At least I don't remember any other enemy casting a wind spell. It's OHKO on normal difficulty too, that's what I played. Although early on I couldn't afford equipment.

The lack of better equipment is the main reason why the demo is on the hard side. The second and third dungeon's enemies are pretty strong, because there are just no better weapons and armor to buy. Luckily you can set the encounter rate to 0, so you can focus on completing the quests there while you gather EXP and JP in the first dungeon. There's also hardly any difference in gains between the three dungeons, so fighting the easiest sets of enemies makes even more sense.

Those cats are rather easy, haven't been wiped out by normal mobs so far. I'm talking about the special enemy from the third quest on the west cave. It had about 1500 HP, could use Aeroga that took between 300 - 350 HP per hit, most of the time using it twice because it was always using Default and Brave. 

Managed to defeat it now, had to buy a couple of Phoenix Downs though. Once I got two Love Powers going (Attack at 1.5x) and using Tiz Knight with Two-Handed, I was three hitting for 200 per attack. Two-Handed and Multitask is so OP it's not even funny.
