personaly i consider lulua to be one of the 2 worst ateliers (shared with sophie), reason for lulua to not reaching a likeable level to me is that considering it being a future installment of the arland trilogy it takes NO risk, for example they dance around that characters dont know who her dad is i dont really like the characters at all, they are shallow blank states that could be replaced by many characters from previous installments and noone would notice. the only "innovation" to cutscenes is that people do random things in the background for comedic effect doing some of the talky scenes. Lastly, for the alchemy, i always like how the alchemy is changed to keep the gameplay lively for each atelier but in this title the bold new core to this is that its just become much easier to get 999 quality on crafted items, granted this title actualy wants you to make such items, but it has been possible in ealier installments and 999 quality doesnt do much to gameplay in this title unless you count the curry ending. ultimately i agree with wer that its just a cashgrab on arland.

The "cinematic" attack final boss does you just go out of the arena with L2, you should be able to get off the streets to the right of how you turn initialy. final boss can be cheesed if you just use the downward ability to regain your 12 swords and just warpstrike spam him to death, use ethers to get mp back if needed. Also as i just got the 100% i can confirm that you can take up to a total of 3 grade degradations to still get the A+ as i had a B in dmg taken and A+ in everything else, but a C in dmg taken and A+ in everything else fails the trophy.

for combo, any of the slow big guys can be done, as long as you got 12 swords and dont use the QTE to kill him you can rack up high hits, got the almost 900 hit myself when i fought the tripple version on one of the bases.
