Funny. I never had any problems with MP. I sure had to manage it carefully at times but it was never too difficult. I don't remember which dungeon you're talking about but I don't remember having any problems with MP in any puzzle. The one in the first town could have been problematic but when you have to cast a spell that costs a lot and you have an idea about what to do, it *might* be a good idea to plan ahead a little bit.
Also, resource management. I'm sure I didn't mention it already but when you have limited resources, you have to be careful managing them. Personally I loved the fact that the game wasn't holding hands too much and I'm sure I would've liked if it did so even less.
