Summary: My first attempt at a brutal Expert Trial. It doesn't go great.
---
Five Thoughts/Questions
1) Just to make extra sure... is there really no way to save before an Elite Trial so I can try it again after failing without the massive run-back?
2) Cause if not, I hate that. Haaaaate.
3) Even though I didn't succeed in this first attempt, I got decently close. May succeed with some practice, SPP, and more judicious potion/Judgment Strike usage.
4) I do mean "first attempt." Next time, will try that mission again.
5) The time in the arena felt like it paid off. I didn't really remember combos but still was fairly comfortable with the basics of the characters I cycled through.
