I beat esod lunatic...with continues. yay.
Seriously though, most of it actually didn't seem much harder, just a select few parts.
1: stage 1 is very much harder. normally I expect 60-70something power by the boss, on lunatic, I'm crapping my pants, and feel accomplished if I get just 50.
2:stage 3 is wtf.. I guess I have to re-memorize it all over again. Stuff that would let me live gets me killed for it... sangrilla 9 or whatever you spell it. I capped on my first try, I still haven't capped that on hard. go figure.
3: stage 4 is harder and the same. Basically if you screw up anything in the giant memory game that it is, you'll die.. instead of probably die...sigh. More re-memorizing to do for that one.
4: Patchy oddly enough didn't seem much harder to me. That includes emerald megalith, sure it was harder, but honestly I didn't notice anything different in that spell other than a few more large bullets. I didn't cap it cuz of a stupid screwup admittably, but it sure seemed like sylphae horn high level and uhh.. agnes shrine whatever was harder (though I capped the horn, go me).
5: stage 5 I don't know, I wasn't really trying at that point since I was on my last life and was just having fun. Sakuya seemed harder on her noncards, but her spellcards seemed the same.
BTW what's up with Jack the ludo bile, I find it can be easy, but sometimes it just seems totally impossible. I mean, I know how to do it easily without breaking a sweat, but sometimes it just seems like ALL her big random bullets are clustered around both "exits" for the knives. WTF am I supposed to do there, is this a known "can't be unlucky" spellcard? It's very frusterating. 3 times in a row this has happened to me now.
I capped the world still, and ALMOST capped killing doll, only reason why I didn't is cuz she re-twisted a green knife that i had already dodged straight towards me as it was RIIIIGHT next to me (didn't notice it either)...sigh.
As for Remila:
Her opener has more bullets but didn't really seem much harder (I hate the medium sized bullets though, I always underestimate their hitbox, it's alot bigger than I think every time.. doh.. must remember, dodge around the big bullets, not hte medium ones).
demon whatever seemed pretty similar, vampire illusion..umm. the bullets were faster which doesn't really matter. But I got walled in at one point, I don't know if this is a luck thing or a lunatic thing. I've been walled in once on hard too but that was also probably partially cuz It took me too long to beat that card.
I did NOT notice any difference with scarlet meister on lunatic than on hard, despite what people say. Looked EXACTLY the same to me.. As a matter of fact I almost capped it this time.. go figure. I survived 3 waves and died on 4.
Scarlet gensokyo... yeah.. probably the most noticeable hard to lunatic change in the whole game except for maybe stage 1 and 3 trash >=P.
