I read somewhere that the bonus dungeon requires having all the hidden medals in order to access it... that doesn't sound like much fun, tracking all those down.
The GBC version is still casual compared to the NES version by a mile.

That is true. Unlocking the monster medal dungeon in the GBV version is a tremendous time-consuming pain (which is why I didn't do it). The other bonus dungeon - which is available in both the SFC and GBC versions - is absent in the NES release, however...and that dungeon really kicks the challenge into high gear. (After defeating the last boss in the main campaign, I thought my party was pretty strong and well-developed. It was wiped out by the second random encounter in the bonus dungeon, however. )

That sounds like my experience after beating Etrian Odyssey and stepping foot into its post-game Claret Hollows stratum.

Bwahahahaha! And you didn't even get to the room with the maze of invisible holes that drop you into a floor that's nearly entirely damage squares.

That sounds like something right outta Brandish.
That was my immediate thought as well. (And no, I haven't forgotten about Dela mode yet! Figure I'm going to take Phantasy Star out either tonight or tomorrow.)
