I struggled more with early Dantarg to be frank.

For 7heroes it was enough to put up sword barrier and heals on the empra every turn to last forever and win a war of attrition.

Truth to be told, as long as you have the right tools it matters little who you bring to the fight, though of course statistical advantage might help a lot.
Hannibal is a great help because it's your best physical attacker bar none, his only problem is that he's pretty slow compared to most party members, using the Emerald Axe setup is a pretty safe strategy too, but if you manage to get a Dragon Gae Bolg you don't need to grind Axe proficiency levels, the Emerald Axe is still a safer strategy though.

Koumei buffed with the Liberty Staff's Bless will probably do insane damage with Crimson Flare or Galaxy but he's made of wet paper and you'll have to grind him to at least 800 HP to not have him die before the battle ends.

A Female Holy Order is always a solid party member, I always take one with me for healing, buffing and attacking with spells.

Last member can be whoever you want really, I used a Ninja in the remake and it was a pretty good, albeit arguably very fragile, choice, but as long as you can keep being aggressive you'll be good.

But again, it matters little who you bring, the Seven Heroes are NASTY, it's far more important to have the right tools for the battle, I mean, people have even soloed them with Coppelia back then, though the Wind Cutter bugfix might change that a bit, if you can use the Dragon Pulse setup in the remake it should still be possible to solo.

Regarding formations, I jump in the Rapid Stream bandwagon, though many jap players also used Amazon Strike, depends on your build and team really.

>What do I do with the bird nest?
You need to take the Bird's Nest together with the other two ingredients, the water from the Aqua Lake in the Ludon Plains and the Eggshell from the Savannah, she won't make you the fishman potion otherwise.
To get water from the Aqua Lake you'll have to bring Tethys the Moonlight Comb, and to do so you have to liberate the Molemen from the Queen since they're the ones who'll make it for you.

I see your Kyuujinshi and raise my Seven Heroes.

Well, it depends on what you're looking for, SaGa and SaGa Frontier were heavily inspired by the pop culture of their times, if you saw movies like Wicked City or Cyber City you'll see a lot of elements that SaGa predated, man in suits that fight demons with flashy kung fu and big guns in a sci-fi/modern setting, magic and guns, mutants etc, they were more a product of their time.

In terms of design elements, lately there has been a surge in non linear games with multiple characters, Leggend Of Legacy for the 3DS is a tribute to SaGa and has a lot of similar mechanics and designs, but that's a bit cheating because most of the poeple who made that game are former staff of the old SaGa teams.

There's no easy way, you just have to take it like a man and have a dedicated mage that chews through Spell proficiency levels.

You can "cheat" regarding your emperor's proficiency levels by abusing the Heritage magic mechanic, keep on grinding with a mage and then after a few generations make one of your mages(possibly a tactician for maximum exploit) an Emperor and BAM, 20/25 levels of three magic types in one go.

I usually go with Femperor, Hannibal(Black Imperial Guard), a female Holy Order/Amazon, Privateer and an Iris or a Tactician. if you have guts you can solo with Femperor and the Amethyst Axe setup, but that requires a lot of planning since the beginning of the game since you need certain high tier combination spells and a very good axe level and waza.
Problem is, the final boss is REALLY hard, it gets seven turns in a row when it can use any of the Seven Heroes skills and has more than 100000 HP, you have to git gud if you want to survive the inevitable onslaught of Temptation+Kamaitachi/Heat Hand+Soul Steal+Psychobind+Marionette+Grand Slam+Maelstrom in one turn.
