I remember doing this once and Flutter pretty much "magicked away" the battle. I got the choice if I wanted to fight or not, said something like "No Way!", Flutter replied something like "Okay, I'll take care of it", the screen went black and then the next moment the creatures were gone. I can't remember whether I got EXP, though. I seem to think I did, but I'm really not sure.

I'm currently an angler and I've become an apprentice for cooking, tailoring and hunting. I'm not sure if I like any of them enough to go further--thinking of trying the magician next. Not really interested in woodcutting, mining, blacksmith or carpenter. Or really paladin. What are everyone else's favorites? I guess more for fun not for utility.
I have a question about the password items. Do you guys think that a person who wants to let the game unfold naturally, and just go with the flow, should get the password items? I'm worried they might level me up too fast or make certain things far too easy and then I'll lose interest in the game faster. I hope that made sense.
In other words, is it like buying the higher level weapons from the stores, where it gives you a little boos/advantage (because I do that) or do the password items give you a leap that ultimately makes things too easy?

I got all the password items early on and it didn't really affect me at all. But then again I really didn't start using them until later in the game, because I didn't need them at first. They are just like buying higher level weapons or armor. And plus some of them are really cute~
That's a good idea, to save them for later. But there's so many items in the game! I hope I remember to use them when I need to...
Thanks for replying. ^.^

I tried woodcutting and for some reason I fell in love with it lol magician is good too. I reached Hero and for some reason i dont get anymore challenges lol

I thought that too, but i actually didnt end up using most of it and it didnt really make anything easier. It was fun to have nice furniture for my first house lol
Oh good idea! I didn't even really look at the items! Furniture would be great, I currently have only ugly furniture in my room, and an empty (except for 1 bed for resting) in my Port Puerto house. lol I'm too cheap to buy the furniture. XD
I was replaying the first two chapters in the main story and none of the fights allowed me to skip. They are involving on destroying the Doomstones, and are definitely doable as Paladin with a starting sword and shield along with the snow outfit.
I forgot when exactly the story would allow you to skip fights. I feel like that this feature is designed for anyone who would only rely with their starting equipment and never did any combat job, if that is really possible to beat the entire main story with that in mind.
I'm guessing with the earlier fights, it's maybe because the game wants you to understand to attack the Doomstones not the animals for better results??
I also just noticed the option coming up, whereas I'd never noticed it before...and I'm only at Chapter 4 I think. It's the part where it gets into Al Maajik...so possibly the option wasn't available before then, or I just didn't notice it.
Chapter 4 is about Al Majik.
Also, if memory serves me correctly, skippable fights will appear starting at Chapter 3. The only thing that makes me scratch my brain is if I'd get exp for skipping the fight, which I might get to know soon since I have another file that is about to finish some Chapter 2 errands. If this turns out to be true, then the main story could be completed in under 5-6 hours.

I am not a mercenary but that gigante is one hell of a monster lol
Whats hardest to kill as a Mercenary the Chimera or Gigante?
Edit: Killed the Gigante, took 32 minutes
Edit2: Beat them both! Chimera in 23 minutes
Chimera is easier to defeat than Gigante for a few reasons, despite having better stats.
First, the "room" where the beast is has a very tight corridor that connects it and the rest of the area. Since he can't obviously fit in that corridor, you can easily escape from it and avoid its attacks. Bonus points if you have someone whose combat life is a long-ranged one.
And second, he doesn't paralyze you at all, since he doesn't have any thunder attack.
Speaking of the "skip battle" feature in the story mode, I just finished Chapter 3 for the third time and I noticed a pattern here. Skippable battles will begin to appear starting at this chapter. This feature will prompted at any fight but those involved with the Doomstone, the latter of which tends to happen on pretty much every chapter. If you say something like "No" twice, Flutter/Butterfly will apparently brainwashes evildoers into pacifist peoples. However, doing so will not reap you any exp whatsoever, which could culminate into having a couple of level ups missed if this trick is repeated throughout the entire main story.
Overall, the skip battle feature isn't as significant as some individuals make it out to be. While it is a valid tactic for speedrunners or impatient gamers to speed up the main story a bit more, there's not really much to benefit from it for everyone else.
Maybe they offered the option so that people who didn't spend (much) time on a fighting Life wouldn't get stuck? Also, thanks for testing. So you don't get EXP, I wonder why I thought I did. Must be my age, LOL.

Where can you fish for carp in Castele? :-\
I think it's just all over Castele in all the different fishing spots.
Do any of you guys actually use the bombs and sleeping/stunning potions? IDK if the ones I have tried were just not strong enough, or the enemies were too strong, but they seem so useless. I mean with the lesser enemies, you don't really need the help, and the stronger enemies don't get effected by them at all.
I can't even really figure out how/when to use panaceas/elixirs/powders/aids etc. The only 2 I find handy are the life cure (obviously) and SP potions (cuz I'm always running out of that). I don't even know when the antidotes come into play. Is there a point where the enemies start stunning you and putting you to sleep, etc when you'll need the antidotes?

The only time I've used the antidotes is once or twice in ancient ruins with the boss that uses thunder storm. Still pretty useless. And I NEVER use the bombs. They only seem to work for me if I put them RIGHT in front of a monster and the monster doesn't move lol and doesn't seem to do squat for bosses... Which sucks because I was really looking forward to putting gigante to sleep haha
