Is hard mode worth playing in Digital Devil Saga 2?

I just got the game and uploaded my old DDS file and started playing on normal mode. I'm just up to the first boss and wondering if I should restart on hard mode so that I can fight the optional boss "Satan".





Is hard mode insanely, control breaking, hard or is it just a bit more difficult. Normal seems pretty easy, haven't been at risk of dying so far

Will I think personally it was more difficult. I played in normal mode first and there was this boss called Abaddon. Talk about a run for you money if you don't level up Cielo this battle is freaking hard. His attitubes change and you can't see what they are, plus he'll eat one of your character and spit him back out after using Noxious Gas. It's just like other hard game levels the enemies are tougher and your weaker but, with the optional boss and when you hit an enemies weakness it's twice the damage but, other then that's about the only upside to the hard mode. So, basiclly what the heck might as well if your not to far into the game go for the hard mode, if you want something more challenging.


(sidenote: Hard mode makes it harder to escape, 3/10ths the chance of normal mode enemies hit you for 1.5 times more damage, enemies have a 1.5 times higher critical hit ratio, you hitting an enemie's weakness results in 2 times damage, and allows you to face an extra secret boss.)
