Like yeah, I just got through Tales of the Abyss (I really enjoy the characters btw)
and I'll be visiting by cousins for some time Thanksgiving, and since the Tales games have coop
I thought another one would be a nice to thing to play with them while I'm there.
I already know the basics of all the characters, and considering dodging in TotA was
almost too easy, and the game was still easy even though Jade and Tear spent a lot of time
on the ground, I thought about a restriction or two to keep the game from being too easy.
1) Permanent hardmode, I'd think four non-AI's would lead to a roflstomp on normal.
2) Cheria should be in the party as little as possible. Free run's in this game right?
If it is I'd imagine there isn't too much of an excuse for getting hit. Besides
I believe Pascal and Oswald are going to be in the main fighting part a lot,
and both of them do have heals.
Is this going to work? Is there anything I should know?
Also please don't post any spoilers, like even in the spoiler box,
I always end up clicking those.

Free run isn't exactly efficient in this game as it use your character's CP and dodging is far more effective. As for Cheria she does make the game easy-mode (This is not a story spoiler but rather a game mechanic spoiler)
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Only when using the narikiri doll on someone with better stats[/SPOILER] but she's the best healer. And usually in Graces F if you get hit, you get hit hard and stunlocked so a healer is always a nice thing.
As for permanent hard mode I suggest you play on the highest difficulty unlocked at anytime. Since it's required to unlock higher difficulty.
Other than that, player level are kinda useless, and title is what matters. Grind your titles but don't master them. All stat from titles are permanent and not only from your equipped one. Mastering a title only give a bonus to the title specific stats when you have it equipped.
And that's about all I can remember without going into story spoilers!
