For All Those Who Hate the Final Mission...

[AQZT]

Here are some tips to get through it faster!
a) Learn how to Hotkey!
Hotkeys are vital to aiding you getting through the final dungeon quickly. Here are some useful ones:
The Number Keys will select the corresponding squad for immediate movement. For example, pressing '1' will immediately select squad 1 on the map, ready for movement. It's really a whole lot faster than scrolling over to the squad you want to move, clicking on it, then clicking 'move', THEN moving it. It can cut quite a bit time off of the final mission.
The E button will immediately end your turn, so you don't need to click, go to the menu, then click the 'end turn' button to end your turn. This can also really cut down on the time you take to win the mission.
Just using these two easy shortcuts can easily cut off 25% of the time it takes for you to finish the mission
b) Split up your squads!
Another good idea is to split up your squads, sending two to each side of the map (So two can be sent to take out Mitosemar, and hit the seals above her, and the other two to take out Medario and Ntushitora, and get the magic seals on that side of the map). Really, sending all four squads together is completely unnecessary to win the mission. You can easily take out each side of the map with just two squads. Just make sure that you have strong characters in both groups of squads.
c) Save Often!
Trust me, it REALLY saves you quite a bit of trouble if you save often during this mission. If one of your characters dies, it is far easier to reload and get back to where you were before if you save often.

Those are my tips. Feel free to post your own over here as well!
Hope that helped you out with the worst mission in the game!

eh, it's a bit obvious, but the very first time I played the game I thought you had to kill everything like the mission suggested. But you don't actually have to defeat anything but the bosses (and any groups in the way). That saves loads of time in case you don't know >=P

yeah for first timer, those tips are quite helpful.
some more tips to speed up is:
- In Battle Mode, the L button will skip the whole battle and Ctrl button will Speed+. I recommend Ctrl just to see what going on.
- as AQZT said, split force, but I think you should be getting 6 squads instead of 4. so 3 each and i recommend 1 Eternal each. Yuuto and Tokimi.
- you only need to kill the Eternals ( the one on the bottom left quite tough, i think his support skill is one hit KO. so get a high lvl banisher or Eternal Skill to one hit KO.)
- If you know where Takios spawn before hand (he spawn after kill the first 3 Eternals) you should have already get one of your squad to near where he is and when he spawn just head right into battle, he will full-healing you.
- Then Temourin appear, you will have to make your way to her, but you don't have to get all your squads there, it's a pain, just Yuuto and Tokimi will do. (2 squads) for me I let Yuuto kill those who on the way and Tokimi fight Temourin (rivalry). and a showdown with Shun. watch out for Aura Photon Break, let Yuuto and Tokimi fight the first two fight and the rest is easy.

hi, i'm really stuck on the final mission because i can't seem to beat Medario, the enemy guy on the bottom left that's a continuation.

i've tried using every combo that i can think of, but the end results is that everyone dies. the only thing i've found is that yuuto's attacks are really good against this guy, but when the enemy uses his attack (like 2 times in a row) yuuto loses his life. i know that i need to use the ice banisher against this enemy, but then whoever attacks (even aselia and io, who are probably the strongest attackers) don't make much dent into this enemy's life, which is really annoying! i've also tried tokimi, but she just dies instantly! and i can't move yuuto into any of the squads, and he doesn't have any ice banisher skills, so what should i do? am i doing anything wrong?

pls help me because i really want to see the ending, and this is really annoying me. thanks.

and i agree with AQZT, splitting up your squad really makes things easier, as most of the enemies are pretty easy to beat, as the addition of io really made a difference...just that i'm stuck on Medario!

On the first playthrough?

Tokimi could kill him if you mess around with her support skills.

Does your Yuuto have Holy? Connected Will+Holy greatly lowers his attack dmg and skill dmg allowing you to survive his hits.
