>not that difficult
This title in particular has New Game Minus (read: you're locked at your base levels, which range from 1 to 3 depending on the character, and they never go past these numbers). I also heard Trial Mode Stage 100 (especially on NG-) is very difficult if you don't come in with a plan.
>letting the game play itself
I believe the idea is to automate the encounters with mobs to help with grinding, while against tougher stuff it's about building a strategy around the encounter you're about to face, and then see that plan being executed, while interfering as needed.
The only person I know (on Stinger) who has played this title is Birdman. Maybe he can give a bit more detail. I played this game for a bit, but dropped it owed to a save corruption ruining my file. This is still one of my priorities though, as I heard its strengths are absolutely worth playing the game for (especially on NG-).
