I liked the idea and really enjoyed the first battle, and the introduction of Harold. But after that, maybe I'm just bad, but I was just getting frustrated with the battles. I would have liked to have been able to progress further and see more of it.

They’re meant to be challenging, but I can understand that not everyone likes that sort of thing. Some tips in case you decide to give it another go later:
- Use Harriet’s Cover ability to draw attacks to her. She also gains a bit of mitigation while it’s active which makes her a perfect tank.
- You can always run from battles with a 100% success rate
- The castle inn is free to stay at
- Make sure you bought and equipped some gear in the castle.
- You can turn random encounters off in the options menu (but they are a good way to train skills on Harriet and gain blue magic skills for the archivist.
- To gain skills on Harriet, her basic attack will teach you Double Slash and Morale with a high probability. From there, using those skills will teach other abilities. Morale in particular is extremely useful.
- Harold’s best weapons are the Archonic Mace (used to debuff enemy attack/magic power especially), the Eye of Time (aoe haste and slow) and Blade of the Herald (bonus to healing). The Eye of Time and Blade of the Herald also give him ability cost reduction and a full party heal.
Good luck!
