Easy gold in the start of the game

After starting a new game and gaining control of Beat and Alegretto, enter the sewers. Use Beat's Vivid Shot skill to take pictures of the enemies. Vivid shot only works in lighted areas and fortunately, the mice enemies have lights on their tail. Just move Beat beside the target and take pictures. Check the pictures you have taken. Trash unwanted photos and take pictures until you get 12 photos. Go back to the surface and sell your pics. Even the crappy pics can still yield 300+ gold a piece so you can earn thousands of gold if you keep repeating the procedure. Furthermore, take pictures of the sewer boss (Bread Gang). Class A photos can be taken easily if you can capture the boss's full body and with Retto beside it. Boss pictures can yield a minimum of 1000 gold.

Echo Meter

Be sure to build up your Echo Meter during each battle so that you can unleash your special attacks with more damage. You build the meter by attacking enemies with your regular attacks, which will build it up to 4 hits, 8 hits, 12 hits, 16 hits, 24 hits, and 32 hits (the latter being the highest). Unleashing special attacks at that plateau will result in the most powerful attacks your characters can use, but be sure to use them in the present battle, because the meter, even if unused, will be reset before the next battle.

New Game +

Complete the game once from your first play and save the data when prompted to. Load that file to begin a new game with all obtained Score Pieces, Party Levels and a Hero's Crest. Plus, the enemies and bosses will be much stronger and tougher in battle.

Pictures

If you're in need of money, remember that you can take pictures with Beat's special skills and sell them to vendors. Pictures of enemies and especially bosses are valuable and can net you lots of cash.
