Finished the game a good few days ago but only gave up on it yesterday. Was attempting to get the platinum but was rushing through everything and so it just felt like a slog. Will probably come back to it at a later date.
Normal = too easy, btw. Especially when you consider you aren't going up against enemies on your own and the fact you have a gooseberry fool load of stuff (upgradeable weaponry, healing items, gear, "adventure gear", skills etc) at your disposal. Only felt truly challenging in a couple of spots on normal and they were hours and hours apart. So yeah, play it on the setting above normal. Y'know,
if you play it.
