Starseer is still by far the most difficult boss, though not because of whether if it was well designed. The game actually gives you very few options against magic based enemies and absolutely terrible buff/debuff options for the most part. Physical bosses are pretty simple though. You mercenary buff your party with your merchant and attack debuff with your thief. But magic users pretty much have one true answer, and that's reflect. Though even reflect has a counter, which is this incredibly annoying status effect that nulls every buff/debuff. Considering almost all of your strongest options are buff based, this Starseer bitch puts on the buff null status on like 2 of your key party members, and you've literally already lost. There's no way back.

That being said, either you grind up your magic def so that Shooting Star doesn't literally kill your entire party in a single go, or you just cheese her with leghold trap, dancer ulti, and reflect on your entire party.

Also having said that, I couldn't come up with this strategy on my own. Why? Because the motherfucking description for dancer ult was motherfucking wrong! It says it only applies to skills that affects enemies. Nope, it literally affects any single targeting spell. Now was that hard to describe? No. But without some offbeat testing, I couldn't have figured out that cheese strategy without pure luck, which made this boss battle probably my least favorite experience

But yeah, this game's super easy otherwise. I've always been 5~20 levels below the req except my main character (I beat Starseer with a lvl 50 and a bunch of lvl 35~40 lol)

not there yet but I'm literally causing 3k damage with Primrose and casting spells like firestorm for free thanks to a charm+skills (SP saver and the other one that restore SP every turn) so I'm technically casting spells for free and just destroying everything
