That's the version I'm running it on with no issues so far.
from waht i can tell, Marika indeed doesnt loose dmg in the back row, unlike other characters. classic Rpg style- means " other characters deal less dmg in the back row"
Kill the big robot that I forget the name of in the bottom of the Zincto Mine, afterwards talk to the old man in the house near the entrance of that village (This is the step I kept missing despite it being fairly obvious thanks to the guy running off once you beat the robot), afterwards take the Ant-Gear to the Crystal Weapon tech in Senon. From there they just ask for some parts from those sex robot enemies, but you've probably got dozens of those.
You need to talk to her a whole lot in the school lobby first. Each time you talk to her she should get a new skill that specializes in killing a different monster type. There's 5 or 6 of those, and after you get them all she mention something about the demon that cursed her. After you get that line head to the Deep Forest and take the path that leads to the Fire Dragon Temple. The rest is self-eplananatory once you get the scene there.
