A worthy final boss! -- beat him without grinding, but just barely.
Suggested Fixes:
*In the event of a successful flee, the room should be empty... it's a pain to flee one battle only to instantly find yourself in another.
*Burst is way OP when Lina has Kris + Quicken -- if I had wanted to, I could have bombed my entire way through the final boss.
*Up until the Final Boss, I had not gotten any items necessary for even 1 weapon change in the Alchemy Shop. As you are redoing the stealing, I would assume this will allow for people to receive the necessary items to do so.
*A hard mode, if it doesn't already exist.
*Little fixes with names/spelling that most people have pointed out.
Other than that, awesome game. A more than worthy sequel to the first -- looking forward to Crystal Story 3!
Alchemy recipes is one of the reasons why i'm redoing steal loot. thx
