Don't forget that Magick is a real killer on Hard Mode as well. Choosing to simply up Def will leave your M.Def low. It get's really annoying if you get one shot by a simple Magick user. Magick users aren't as abundant in this game, but the odd few you do meet should be first priority kills.

Also. Falling rocks hurt. A lot. I took over 700 damage from a small rock with 260 defense or such. Don't know the extent of the damage because it one-shot killed me. :(

So be careful when you do the Off With Its Head quest.
