Alright, I just finished the game with Asellus. Thanks for the advice from before. Once I gathered some better party members, I had a much less difficult time. My final party was Asellus+Gen+Rouge+Lute+Mesarthim. I recruited some Space Magic Monster guy, but I just couldn't figure out how to use him well, so I used Mesarthim instead. I went to that scary Mystic dude in Koorong, but every time I entered his lab, the game made me leave.

I had a lot of fun, and the fight with Orlouge was difficult enough. Thankfully the game let me wander off to go get a bit stronger. I had gone to the Biolab before, but I noticed the monsters were significantly stronger, so I absorbed some Suzakus. And I don't think I would have survived without Rouge's Tower spell.

I have a few questions, hopefully I can ask them without getting too spoiled on stuff.
1: After I finished the game, it did something with my system data. So when I start a new game, am I supposed to overwrite my Asellus save? Or use a different save slot? Or what?
2: Is there a benefit to using multiple teams? By the end I had 3 teams of people, but I was only using my main 5, and felt no need to get the other teams up to speed.
3: I killed a seemingly optional boss called "Giant" on the way to Orlouge. I opened the door behind it, but couldn't do anything beyond that. What's the point?
4: Asellus seemingly went mad with power. Is there a different ending if I play again without using mystic abilities at all? (of course, don't spoil it or anything).

If I play again, I guess I'd ask Sei to join instead of just taking his sword. I guess I'd do Rune magic instead of Tarot and Shadow instead of light. And maybe I'll try to find that mystic with time magic. I guess I could try a different character instead, but Asellus is the cutest.

How do I play this game /vr/?

I chose Asellus as my first character, and the trainer guy won't train me, I'm not strong enough to beat the monsters on the top of the castle, and I'm too poor to buy anything in town. What am I missing here?
