Fight with one of the bosses in Battle Mode in the demo.

This is Chaos mode, acquired through means of CE of course. However, other than that, and a code to remove the arte pause, no other cheats were used; no hacked weapons, stats, skills, etc; everything was acquired by going through the level.

This boss is pretty tough, but still manageable with some skill and a little luck. I start the battle with using the MAs because the party will eventually die, losing all of their BG, so might as well get free damage. Unfortunately in this take, it wasn't nearly as smooth(usually can just MA, swap char, take 1 fwd step, attack, MA again) but eh, what're you gonna do =02? I use Magilou's swap attack to steal Dryad's infinite-A.Def buff, then swap Laphi back in; Geostigma and Kalaidos Ray can deal weakness dmg, plus KR has long animation that locks him in. After that, its simply "play good with Rokurou"("good" being used loosely =0b). If I knockdown the boss with the counter, and Eizen has more than 3 Souls, I'll switch to him and do his BS for a bit of extra damage. For Vel, its just "MA, then spam BS" (=_= )...

His normals, Mow Down, Freeze Lancer, Air Thrust, Gravity Well, and Hell Gate are simple for me to avoid or counter(and fortunately the AI is pretty good at not dying), but his Grave is extremely quick; it casts in 23 frames and the attack itself hits on the 33rd frame(i.e. it hits in half of a second) which makes it fairly difficult to dodge on reaction. He generally uses it to counter casters too and does well over a 1000+ dmg unguarded/650+ dmg guarded, making this battle much more difficult than it should be =01.

Hopefully as I get used to the battle system, I'll be comfortable enough to use multiple characters and avoid relying on single-direction moves ( =_=)...
