Game Modes

The game has three difficulty settings, easy mode, normal mode and hard mode.

Each difficulty setting can also be combined with Randomizer mode, which is unlocked after finishing the game once.

Easy Mode
Easy Mode includes the following changes:

-All party members' XP gain is doubled.

-Critical hits deal x3 damage instead of x2.

-Elixirs cost half as much gold to buy from the Draining Witch in Woodrot Forest.

-All Escape skills have additional uses.

-Special Radar Rings that disable random encounters and can be worn by anyone can be bought in the Rarities Shop in Gianna Plaza.

-Magic Hairdyes can be bought in the Item Shop in New Rokkas.

-A "Cheat Room" can be accessed through a hidden path in Gianna Castle; just interact with the wall directly south of the entrance to the throne room.

Hard Mode
Hard Mode includes the following changes:

-All instant cure items usable in battle now take a character's turn to use.

-All curative/restorative items' prices have been either doubled or increased.

-Party members are no longer automatically re-ordered in battle; if someone gets petrified, for example, you may want to use Blow Away or a Wind in a Jar. The party is re-ordered automatically after battle, however.

-All Bosses have 50% more HP. This is a 50% increase from their new HP scores, which have been buffed as described below.

-All characters take 40% more HP damage from all sources

-All characters have an additional 25% weakness to Erotic.

-All characters have increased odds of being affected by most statuses (the ratio varies depending on the status).

-The Morph skill is now forgotten upon use and must be re-learned each time it's used either by spending JP or using a Morph tome.

-Servers and Trees now generate tips / grow items based on battles won, not times that you transition between areas. Same goes for Hidden Riches, Pregnancy, and Harvest progression

-Nuan has been relocated to Tabanth and her price has been increased to 3000G.

Randomizer Mode
When you restart the game after beating it once, Mischief will show up in the throne room and offer 4 new randomizer-options to spice things up. These modes include:

-Random Treasure Mode: The location of every item (except key items) is shuffled around.

-Random Keys Mode: The locations of every key item is shoffled around.

-Mystery Shop Mode: All shops will have their inventories replaced with a "Mystery Box" item that costs 1,000 Gold and gives you a random item (excluding key items) on use.

-Stat Modifier Mode: Every party member will receive two permanent passive skills - one that increases a random stat by 25% and one that decreases a random stat by 25%.

It is possible to have multiple randomizer options active at the same time.
