Okayyyyyy, that's super impressive. I tried hard mode on Rivers in a Desert and failed, but I plan on getting at least a Stage Clear soon. While I'm here I might as well flex that I was able to get a Brilliant when I first opened P5D Blooming Villain on normal mode the *first* time I played it, when my hands haven't come close to adapting to the game yet, if that's any impressive.
For the record, this wasn't just a one and done. I played it straight for many hours before I called it quits.
Hard is just a tad ridiculous with trying to scratch the record and the double up notes they hide in the unison bars from one side of the screen to the other.
I'm sure I can eventually get it, as I passed it with Brilliant, but good grief it's chaotic..
