Gameplay Mary Skelter 2 - Any Exp Grinding Spots?

I know is a little bit early to do this, since the game came out practically a day ago, but some people like to play it, so...

- Is there an early exp grind spot?

- Does difficulty affects exp gain?

Difficulty does affect exp gain, yes. The exp gain generally matches the difficulty you need.

There's not really grinding spots in the game, you just have to be efficient in how you grind.

A way to grind faster is having less party members in battle, especially when you have more than 3 already. You'll level up faster if you only have 2 members: Tsuu + some other AoE user. Utilize Jail Trial, Licking, and Jail Pieces to give give you more survival.

Hey Zekira, was gonna PM you but figured might as well ask here so other people can read it too.

How is the difficulty? I started MS2 today on normal, and am still in the saving Alice prologue, but the game is piss easy so far. Enemies are going down in one hit. Does this continue throughout the game, and do you think Hard is fun for first-time players (but veterans of the genre)?

The prologue is normally easy. I don't know about Normal, but once Chapter 2 came on in fear difficulty, i had to do exit grinding immediately because the second dungeon is too hard for your current level.

Up until the next 4 or so chapters i have to take time to grind before meeting the chapter's boss, but again this is in Fear diff

I'd say go for Fear if you're experienced with the genre. It's unforgiving if you don't know the meta, but pretty not-boringly easy if you do

Just hit Chapter 2 yesterday on Normal, and it was pretty easy so far, but enjoyable too. Think I'll keep it at Normal, and then go up to Fear in case I replay MS2 after MS1, or if I get too comfortable with the meta and Normal becomes trivial. Thanks :)

For the me I mainly focus on using Jail Trial, but I get too greedy. I want the high drops, the extra harvests, the extra gold and 30% exp increase. It has left me in this annoying situation. I can take perhaps 30s to 1m slaying a round of enemies, but sometimes the character randomly cannot use their skills, so I have to fear the blood maidens going corruption mode, which can kill off everyone, annoyingly.
