Trodian Castle is pretty ridiculous if you don't have a million healing items, or dedicate Jessica to being a healer and pray she doesn't get killed herself. the fact that this is the first place you can consistently find metal slimes adds insult to injury. I remember going back to Trodain castle after leaving and leveling up for a while to farm metal slimes, and was pretty shocked that I'd managed to fluke my way through it before. I think I was actually KOed more times revisiting it.

The biggest jump for me was when you continent hop for the first time after getting your boat only to start encountering sabrecats, and the killer fish you find up north in the ocean. this is realyl making me want to go back to this game, but i will probably wait until my Christmas break, once I've finished school for good.
