My first playthrough I concentrated on higher power for Tal and Buki and higher essence for Elso and Ailish and high health for all, but my most recent playthrough I let health sta under 2000  and I concentrated on essence and power with power being always one or two ahead of essence for Tal and the opposite for Elco and Ailish. As for Buki, no matter how high her power she seems like a weak character and is most effective when using the spinning storm strike so I had her essence about four higher than power. I gave all the orbs to Tal since he must fight Heigou alone.

This style has made a quite easy playthrough with most battles the team takes light and sometimes no hitpoint losses. Early on I chained the team's SP strikes together like this: Tal - Iron Will, Ailish - Gaze of Wind, Elco - Nano and I use his character and let Buki do her thing. With th eteam dealing so much damage so quickly, the fights are brief and leveling up is quick as well. Also I took time to do some leveling up in the shadow world just outside of Hexam's abode because you can do a few battles against high value targets, then rest at Hexam's and use the save point in case of a PC crash. I used that to go from level 17-20 mostly so Buki could be strong enough to get through the trials of Mo. I got her through that with a HP of only 1600.

Tell me of your strategies for making easy playthroughs. My most recent playthrough I also finished all side quests and got all the gold bars.
