Wowzer. I drifted away from Totori after having my arse handed to me by the Flaustraut. My weapons and armour were woeful I just couldn't face all the grinding needed to get them up to scratch.
I also found money incredibly hard to come by, which affected my ability to actually make decent armour and weapons and feed those greedy Chim bastards. Apparently there's a trick to get cash by creating an item with certain traits then selling them but it seemed like a lot of trouble and I kind of resented having to resort to that.
What's the bug that prevented you from seeing the true ending? I know you have to jump through a shitload of hoops to get it.
I'll probably go back to Totori after playing Meruru.
That was the brick wall I hit, even at level 40+ Mr Traut was too strong... all that was needed really was an Angel Charm that has 60 water/lightening resistance and he couldn't even make a scratch.
The bug is not a bug (sort of, maybe). It was about one of Gino's scenes not showing up so stalling his character path. I kicked him out of the party as soon as Mimi was available; by doing that Sterk eventually shows up for hire, who then conflicts with Gino's events - apparently Gino should barge into Atelier Totori moaning that you're adventuring with Sterk. I never got this, and hired both of them at the same time which 'glitched' his events from never happening
I finished it today, turned the TV off and hammered X to get through the ending (I'm weird in that if I saw an ending I would have no motivation to play it again). Now already Iron rank in mid-October year 1. With colossal weapons.
The money trick is with Spring Cups. So easy to make, wholesale, buy ten, open them all and sell the contents for about 10000+ profit. Started New Game+ with 100,000+ cole, and Totori and Gino still say that they couldn't get Peter's 100,000 trip money together. Fools.

Oh by the way any good tips for atelier totori? Just anything you think that can help me on the road ahead? Really appericate any heads up!
Stock up on paracetamol, that one can do your head in quite easily
Seriously, though, it feels like sometimes you're not making any progress at all - you're chipping away at character request, citizen requests, assignments and travelling all at the same time. Preserve and soon enough the rewards start piling in. Save and load and then see the character's items you can easily get, since they sometimes ask for things you can't get yet.
Also as soon as you can explore the catacombs make it your number one priority forgoing character requests and such since there's an item found in there that you need ASAP (unlike me who got it near the end of year 2 and had a struggle during the endgame
)
