Well, I got Yuna FX today, and the opening fight isn't really all that hard. Use your standard attack (first button) a bunch of times to build your super-energy up (red "E" bar graph) while knocking down your opponent's health. When his health is low and your energy is fully charged, use the lightning attack (third button) to finish him off. Even if it doesn't finish him off completely, you should have enough energy left over to finish the job. I killed him on the first try.
Thanks for the tip (sorry for late reply!), I'll try that whenever I load it up again. I remember last time I played I kept getting hits on the guy, but he just wouldn't die!
Yeah, that happened to me too once since I posted that tip for you because I didn't follow my own strategy.
I think I just got lucky the first time around, really, but if you use the method I suggested he should be down for the count in no time.
Looks like "Welcome to Pia Carrot" text has finally been fully translated!! Hacking and insertion remains to be done. This is one translation project I'm really looking forward to, along with Dead of the Brain.
Something tells me you aren't looking forward to the text. 
Something tells me you're right!
Actually, I've owned the game forever but I can't get anywhere because my understanding of Japanese isn't good enough to progress very far. I'm really looking forward to being able to actually comprehend the "story".
