My usual grinding methods for this game

As much as the other stages provide more Red Orbs and Style EXPs, I prefer grinding for them in stage 2 over and over.

The stage is short, all takes place in one area and you can easily get around 5 to 6 thousand red orbs in this stage if you know what you're doing with your loadout.

The only thing that's stopping me from getting all S here is the time element, which is something I hate dealing with in ANY GAME.

Like I said before, I'm doing this to stock up on all the items in preparation for beating the Bloody Palace since I never had the chance to do so in my PS2 days.
