* You can usually get an S-Rank (or at least a high A) on a first attempt at a stage just by collecting all treasure chests and killing all enemies. 100% of both Treasure and Greeds gives 1000 points towards the 2000 needed for S Rank. It also helps to defeat as many enemies as possible with the person they’re weak against (You’ll see “Element Kill” pop up). | * You can usually get an S-Rank (or at least a high A) on a first attempt at a stage just by collecting all treasure chests and killing all enemies. 100% of both Treasure and Greeds gives 1000 points towards the 2000 needed for S Rank.

A low number in the Damage category on the stage score screen is good. | ||
* A high chain bonus influences your stage score. The crates littered everywhere are intended for you to keep your chain alive in-between monsters. In many stages, you’ll need to dart into side rooms to get treasure chests or hit switches. Leaving some crates – or enemies - intact in rooms with a path split will let you continue the chain when you pass back through the room again. The chain bonus caps at 200, though, so if you get that high at least once, don't worry about losing it. | * A high chain bonus influences your stage score.

* At the arcade, there's a decent "Prevent all status ailments" accessory for 20,000 Arcade medals. Getting that many is a pain though. Fishing has the highest potential payout, but it requires somewhat of a bank of medals to play, as the higher levels are increasingly difficult to break even on. Other games are easier, but pay out less. Some games give notes for the character profile pages, though. Later in the game though, you can buy a better one for 10,000 Yen at the Antique Shop. | * At the arcade, there's a decent "Prevent all status ailments" accessory for 20,000 Arcade medals.

* At a certain point, dungeons will have 4-5 elemental types of enemies, even though you can only hit a maximum of three weaknesses. | |||
** Once you have a large enough party, examine the Greed Info page before starting a new dungeon. Even without being able to see all the information on the enemies, the silhouettes are visible, and that can tell whether or not they have shields, which makes a huge difference on the effectiveness of ranged characters. | |||
**Additionally, with some experience you can learn which enemies are not really dangerous, so consider taking teammates who can hit the weaknesses of the tougher enemies, even if there are more enemies of another type. | |||
* Be sure to keep an eye on the Main > Store Info tab. It tells you what new items to look for in stores - most notably yellow and red items. | * Be sure to keep an eye on the Main > Store Info tab. It tells you what new items to look for in stores - most notably yellow and red items. | ||
