I haven't bothered to read this thread, but in case nobody has said it yet:.
SHORTCUTS!
Get decent at fighting enemies, explore, and make your primary focus looking for shortcuts. The unspoken, primary goal of this game, besides "just beating it" is to cut the amount of BS you have to hack through between save points and bosses down to as little as possible.
Also, once you are able to, level up. Sure, you need to level your personal skill up, but frequently bumping stats can only help.
