Welcome to the club homie, I would practice your critical attack just like in the first one but you will be given side characters with all unique attacks and weapons which will be fun and learning their backstory is really cool along the way.
Also, don’t be shy to experiment with gift giving system, there are a lot of gift items to give to your companions and achievements are tied to the gift system so don’t feel bad to reach out if you need help on that, since it can be very confusing who to give what at a certain time.
Other than that, enjoy the journey my fellow homie. The story is a lot enjoyable and the mini games are fun as hell! Can’t wait to hear your progress!
Make absolutely sure you've done everything you can in the town before going on a main quest. Every major storybeat progresses the village and makes whatever hidden side quests therein inaccessible.
So save often so you can rollback.
But also don't be too concerned eith getting everything done in 1 playthrough. The game has multiple endings and it's impossible to progress all the companions to their best outcomes at once.
To get to ultimate mode, you need to beat hard mode. The soul from shark achievement is down in the room with explosions trap from Tokichiro In Secret Oni base. Uhh no heal run is no joke. Especially with the Nobunaga fight. Still need to do it. Find the gift guide, it will save you a headache!
It’s important to check a guide for the gift system
Exactly right look up the trades
This is my favorite of the serie and probably a top 5 arpg of all time for me. Good replay value. Choices make a difference.
Pay attention to things characters say about themselves. Talk to npcs. O7 good luck
Never understood all those nuances playing this as a kid. Gotta revisit this game now.

Make sure you trade and get 3 fossilised bones, one from each ally
Look for a gift guide, practice issin. Side stepping opens up the issin window significantly. Wish i knew that during the ps2 era
Does that could stepping forward, or just left and right?
To the side.
Its side-stepping after all!
Yea only works with overhead attacks, attempt this with other attacks it’s an easy way to get yourself killed.
Crit combos are key to powering up fast
Learn good timing, make all the characters happiest with traded and follow Kotaros route for the most trophies/achievements

I've owned it since '02, iunno
Don't talk to the lady with the unmbrella till you have done everything you can at that point.

Check a guide for Gift mechanics. And prepare for the final boss. It is soo hard to beat
Trade for the 3 Fossilized Bones from the male companions and set of Power and Magic Jewels from all 4 of them then you’re all set!
