Yeah. I've got an aggressive playstyle for the most part, too.
Though I try to be more careful in difficult games like
La-Mulana 2 - especially what with the Tower of Oannes and its
diabolical puzzling traps. :p
Wait--
Specter Knight can be unlocked in Shovel Knight?!

In Shovel Knight, you can play as Shovel Knight, Plague Knight,
Specter Knight and King Knight. Each character has their own
campaign and play style.
Games Progress
Completed Lunar Knights. I went back to Dark Castle Auguste, did
some level grinding so both characters gained a level or so. I
then returned to Planet Eater Byron and tried again. Second room
was easier this time because I could deal more damage.
The next few rooms had their challenges but were easier. I also
learnt that if you play as Aaron and you shoot at the Lizardman
enemies while their iron ball is red, your shots will be
deflected and you take damage from them. That rooms with the
Pork Cannons and several Lizardmen also took a bit but
thankfully you can heal afterward.
The final boss himself is no slouch. Polidori is Lv: 40 and has
a wide variety of attacks. Took me several tries to take him
down, though after a few I decided to use my status points to
boost my attack for both characters. His attacks deal a lot of
damage (and it's pretty much a 1HKO if his vampire copies attack
you) but there's a lot of variety to keep the fight interesting.
My main strategy was to use Aaron to shoot at him and use Lucian
if Aaron was KO'd or if I needed to avoid the vampire copies.
Polidori's battle theme is also far cooler than expected; it has
these kickass guitar riffs mixed in with the ominous overtones.
The second part of the fight with the Laplace isn't too tough. I
just used Ursula's missiles to destroy the eyes and deal damage
to his head. Whenever he uses his sound waves, he can still be
attacked and it also slows them down as well. Whenever he used
his portals to summon rocks, I'd just use Alexander to avoid
taking damage.
The ending cutscene uses this gorgeous watercolour art style and
it's definitely better than the generic style used for the
character portraits (though the anime cutscenes are pretty damn
good though).
All in all, I've beaten the game so I'm considering trying my
hand at clearing the Vambury Tower.

Decided to play Lunar Knights on Hard difficulty and kept my
levels. It's a shame you can't skip the first two chapters
(Bravely Second's New Game + let you pick which chapter to start
from) though I'm on Chapter 3.
Vambury Tower basically has you fight enemies with a boss every
10 floors. The first 10 floors were easy. I've also learnt if
you fall off the tower and you pay Sol, you have to start the
whole thing over. The Beginner's Boots double EXP but disable
Sol gain. I don't think I'll need those until I reach Dark
Castle Auguste again.

Well, at least you don't have to pay EXP to start the tower all
over again.

From my own experience, the game isn't too tough until you reach
Armed Train Irving. That said, you do unlock Hard difficulty by
beating the game once. Beating the game on Hard Mode unlocks
Nightmare Mode.. As for the Boss Rush, all boss refights are Lv:
50 so I'm definitely not strong enough to take them on yet.
Thank goodness for that. I'll definitely need to level grind
eventually once I reach the higher levels of Vambury Tower.

Games Progress
Already completed F11-20 in the Vambery Tower a few days back.
I've tried and failed to complete F21-30 though both Lucian and
Aaron are gaining more levels and a lot of money so maybe
Vambery will be useful for level grinding on Hard/Nightmare
difficulty.
I swear if Vambery Tower had an advertisement, it'd be a lot
like Big Bill's Hell.

A few days ago, I finally decided to make the time to play Jak
and Daxter. I don't care for the game's humour though the game
is quite fun, kinda like Super Mario 64. Perhaps I'd enjoy that
game if I ever tried it?
I continued with it yesterday. Completed Forbidden Jungle, Fire
Mountain and Precursor Basin. Currently in the Lost Precursor
City.

In regards to Jak and Daxter, the only areas I need to get Power
Cells from are the Spider Cave, the Volcanic Crater and the
final level. After this, I'll be playing Ratchet and Clank.

Games Progress
A few days back, I did a few more attempts at completing Floors
21-30 of Vambury Tower. Once I actually made it to the boss, I
use the Trance mode and mistakenly end up using Ezra's Burst
attack instead. I expected for me to screw up and get my ass
handed to me by the boss there. Instead, the game just sends me
to the next room. The prize there (Cursed Boots) are utterly
useless.
Also completed Chapter 3 which was a cinch with my superior
end-game power.

Games Progress
Lunar Knights (Vambery Tower): N/A
Blue Dragon Awakened Shadow: Downloaded a second copy onto my
Silver R4 for the purpose of allowing my main copy to access the
multiplayer mode (where you can refight all the game's bosses).
After a few attempts to get past the opening (due to the game
not loading due to some cheats I had on to speed the process
up), I made. Unfortunately the lab isn't unlocked immediately so
I have to play through a bit to unlock it. Unlike my first
playthrough, I'll be using cheats to speed things up so I unlock
what I need faster.

Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow: Completed the first quest, though
I had to do it without cheats. Using the level up cheat got
myself and the party from Level 1 to 7 though unfortuantely I
wasn't allowed to cheat because after defeating the rat enemies,
the game goes to the "can't read data" screen, forcing me to
turn the game (and cheats) off and do it again.
At least the lab is now available though I'll need to find a way
to set up Nintendo Wi-Fi because it went down years ago.
Might also see if the EXP cheats work when a dungeon doesn't
have story cutscenes going on. The game doesn't seem to play
nice with cheats on during story events.
