I must confess to my sins.
Today, I finished the Tower of Kagutsuchi. I played most of the game on Normal like a good little lad, but I just had to change to Merciful for Lucifer. I didn't have Freikugel, only Tornado with Force Boost, which served me well for half the game. I was also cursed, and the turns I missed because of it became the death of me. I was level 86, and I had a level 90 Dante, level 82 Ongyo-Ki (both were my dps), and a level 84 Raphael to debilitate. I just wanted to get the badass ending without spending another hour on the game, as I spent all day playing it.
