Rules:
- The difficulty must be set to Hard for all fights the party participates in.
- EXP gain must be turned off (JP gain is still allowed).
- Norende must not be developed in any way. This is to prevent access to items, equipment, and special moves that can completely break the game.
- The use of Bravely Second is not allowed (not that you can get more SP with Citra, but still).
This method takes a fair amount of prep work but goes by very fast if you know what to do. While the Cacodemon has his purple shield up, his defenses are all 9999, and after he lets the shield drop, he launches a devastating full party attack, so Pierce M. Defense is used to scratch him. Hasten World starts its epic saga by exploiting the A.I. to spam a move that can't kill thanks to Hedge Risk, and we get a taste of the kind of shenanigans Full Leverage can facilitate.
This fight probably could have been done faster by just spamming Turn Toxic, but its a pretty boring strategy to use, we would still need Hasten World, and high level mages with MP Free are just a simpler and more cost effective solution to fights that carries through almost the whole game anyway. That's the excuse I invented and I'm sticking to it.
