Notes
1) The price jumps on the weapons and armor in this game are rather ridiculous. Seriously, if your going to be jumping in price from 500 to 2,000 I'd expect a difference in attack on the weapons to be far greater then 4 points.
2) While the regular enemies are pretty easy, most of the bosses are so tough you'll be hard pressed to damage them. So much so that makes the game feel like it drags unnecessarily. On the plus side their so magically and physically weak they'll be hard pressed to do meaningful damage to the party. So, you'll basically end in a near stalemate with them.
3) The ending curveball about the Dark Lord feels rather tacked on. And isn't particularly welcome in my opinion. Though others may disagree.
