Old Lumiere is the worst part of the game

1. Getting forced to play as characters you don't even know how to play
2. Those stupid soldier ladies are so hard to read their moves because their moves are so twirly and fast

Yeah, I ran into that trap during my first playthrough, too. My Sciel was severely underleveled, and I still have no clue what I'm doing with her. But it's just a short bit, with adjusted enemy strength.

Not sure who you mean by "soldier ladies", but try to go by audio cues. They are pretty useful.

I mean, this is important to make players discover others aspects and the differents style. Monocco is a super interesting gameplay, but the fact that he come "later" in the game with really specific type of gameplay make sense that dev want to push the character during a short period, so I don't think thats a bad idea because its not too long.

Solider ladies give us really tough opposition at this point, I don't think thats a bad idea to challenge the player with difficulty increase. If you speedrun the mainstory and you still have difficultises to win, maybe you should explore a bit to XP and loot some weapons/pictos to be more efficient on them

I meant the main enemy type in Old Lumiere. Idk what enemies are named aside from Nevrons. They're the feminine armored knight looking sword enemies there.

Im sufficiently leveled and I've explored most areas, even some higher than my level. It's the parry timing on that enemy that's a nightmare.
