Found some tips, made some progress and now my characters are OP lol. I made Tiz, Ringabel, and Edea Valkyries (Agnes just a White Mage) and after leveling the job up once they learned Crescent Moon. Then I made them Knights and leveled that job up once and they learned the 2-handed support skill and equipped that. Then I made them Performers, bought some Oaken Poles for them at the shop in the town and they're crazy powerful since Performers apparently get S-level affinity with poles, and 2-handed it's more powerful.

Random mobs are a joke now, but then I fought a boss and its magic rocked my party. Got to find a way around that.

So far it's pretty fun.

What difficulty are you trying?

I started on Hard but switched to Normal since I didn't know what I was doing. Now I'm back on Hard.

Do you have any tips with dealing with enemy magic? Aeroga does 200-300 damage to my party which is a 1-2 hit kill. I have one Wind Charm, gonna have to go back to the shop to see if I can get more.

Melusine hits really hard with her Aeroga and there's not much you can do outside wind charms. Shell doesn't help that much (if you can get it on the demo, don't recall it now) since it only increases your M.Def to 125% (150% if used twice). So use both in conjunction to get a good reduction to the damage output of Aeroga.

Sadly, there's not a lot of things to protect you on the demo in Hard at the start. Once you get Buff Up for all your characters, then the demo becomes auto-mode basically.
