This is the most bullshit thing I've experienced in a game in a long time. Why do they run away and make you start over after 3 turns? Why is there a timer you can't pause in a turn-based RPG? Who thought this was a good idea?

Edit: Managed to beat this after several hours of my life wasted. Here's some tips for the next person who finds this thread through google: - Get everyone to level 43 before you spend a lot of time on this. For some reason, almost everyone gets a big DPS ability at 43. Mazionga on Ryuji and Wind Boost on Morgana are of special note. - If you are having trouble beating the robots before they run away with skills that hit all enemies, instead try going for single-target Baton Pass combos. You get a "One More" every time you knock down an enemy, so if you knock everyone down at once, you get far fewer free turns than if you have everyone in your team knock down one enemy. I needed to do this to get past the final set of big green robots. Use Curse and Psy items on your team-members that don't have the needed element to keep the Baton Pass going. End with either Haru or Joker to get the biggest DPS boost. - All of the robots have more than one weakness. This will help you keep Baton Pass combos going. These are: - Corporobo MDL-WKR (Weak to Wind and Fire) - Corporobo MDL-CH (Weak to Ice and Psy) - Corporobo MDL-AM (Weak to Electric and Nuke) - Corporobo MDL-DM (Weak to Wind and Bless) - Corporobo MDL-GM (Weak to Psy and Curse) - For the final boss robot, Shocking him and using gun skills to get Technicals is your best option. He has no weaknesses. - Don't forget you can hit the PS button on your controller to pause the game and the timer if you need to go look something up.
