Finished the game, bumped the difficulty to hardcore fairly early but game was still overall easy, other than one part where the trash mobs aoe you for insane damage so if you get initiated on, you pretty much die even if you perfect block everything, kinda weird. Mostly though I was one shotting everything that wasn't a boss with the big fire aoe from the mage class and using the +fire gloves and +fire armor(and whatever for helm, never found one, nor did I find a strap on that increased fire dmg, only gross, lightning and cold).
I missed some stuff though, I got the chimpokomon and every quests I had but I'm missing one entire set(2nd set on 2nd row I think), one piece of one set(witch set) and one weapon(looks like a scepter), and I have a souvenir photo quest item still in my bag that I never used. Not too sure where the stuff I missed is. But eh, great game anyway, lots of really funny shit. Canada was hilarious.
