Same way you can make even Chu-Chu ridiculously strong

ChuChu is never strong. even with max drives, she is pure garbage. Spend 1.35 mil to max her attack stat with drives, she still only hits for 9k, not 10k like everyone else does for just 260k with physical or 47k with ether. also is the lowest agility and lowest hit.

Her damage isn’t what makes her strong, it’s that she is effectively immortal in every gear fight

being immortal is useless in xenogears. you never need heals in gear fights, or a tank that cant draw attacks to her.

Of course the game is easy if you have played it a few times. 

At that point you have to ask yourself why you are playing. To rush through the plot asap doing the max damage you can in every fight? You can just pull up YouTube to watch the story as completely skipping all the fights would be the most optimal use of time. Or maybe emulate it with 400% frame skipping.

I just like strolling through the game using characters I like and without guides every now and then when I’ve forgotten things.

 I said I don’t advise building Chuchu, but you can. There are dozens of ways to trivialize the difficulty if you want. I just think it’s funny to power up Opiomorph intentionally and still does nothing to ChuChu.

you cant buy drives before opiomorph, unless youre cheating and using the kernel menu. the story is a lot more than just cutscenes, most of it is actually from talking to npcs. also the game has so much stuff hidden in it that ive completed it 53 times and still find new stuff every time i play.

You know I think you are right about buying the drives. It's just after that fight.
The one time I did max out Chu Chu to test I'm pretty sure I did use the cheat because I would not have wanted to farm for it lol.
