Well, I beat the C-rank tournament and I think I might be done with the game. If you get that far, you'll get three options. The first is to keep training with the swordsman guy, which is the same ending you get from losing any match in the arena. The second option is to try to become the best in the arena, which seems to be the final path, judging by the difficulty of the random encounters in the dungeon you get sent to afterward. The third option is to join the magic association. That seems to be the path you should go on the first time you beat the C-rank tournament, and there's three possible endings after a series of dungeons.
I'm probably stopping here because one of the dungeons is another solo mission for the previous game's character, but against much stronger enemies than last time. If I find the boss and actually have to kill it, I'm done. I guess I was supposed to grind her up to level 40 during the final dungeon of the first 'real' ending you get. Bonus points if I can't leave the dungeon to restock on items or grind somewhere where I can actually kill the enemies.
Edit: Can't leave the dungeon and you have to kill the boss, but he was 'nice' enough to include a grinding spot that has easy enemies for decent exp, considering their lack of difficulty. There's also an item/equipment vendor, but not being able to go to the blacksmith or accessory shops means even more level grinding. The easy enemies give about 300 exp with the exp boost passive equipped, which is about on par with an encounter in the dungeon just before the c-rank tournament. You need about 4000 exp for a level at 30, and I'm guessing I'll need to hit 45 or higher to kill the boss here. Tried fighting it, she's got something like a half million health and regenerates a generous portion of it every time she gets a turn. Since that's not bad enough, she also has charge-up skills that are pretty fast (Meaning an extra turn of regen), inflict one of three poison-like debuffs, can break your clothes (hope you didn't need those stats), and do around 200-300 damage. Yay game design.
VVVVV You can't change the main girl's clothes, just the red haired girl on the rare occasions you have control of her. There's barely any scenes other than the ones mentioned further up the page, and I haven't found a gallery room yet so a late-game save would actually just make it harder to see any CGs.
