From the beaten games topic:

This is the second game of the Voice of Cards trilogy. Unlike the first game which has you taking a typical RPG party through various areas, this game has two permanent party members that travel to various islands, helping some temporary party members with various tasks on each island. The game is mostly without much challenge, until the final boss which has one part which took me a few tries. Though I haven't yet tried the bonus boss yet, since it unlocks after beating the game.

I'm happy to report that the bonus boss is definitely the hardest challenge in the game, requiring multiple tries and a ton of items. The main issue was that there's two enemies in the fight and with some of the maiden pairs that you can use, the two enemies go back to back and wipe the entire party with AoE spells. Using the Ivory Maiden and her attendant gave me a turn in between the two (and both of them had party healing skills) so I could react to whatever the first enemy did. Once one enemy fell, it was smooth sailing afterwards.

Besides that, the game tasks you with collecting every card in the game - items, characters, enemies, equipment, etc. The enemies were the real problem - except for bosses, every enemy needs to be fought four or more times, and there's one enemy that only appears in a world map event, and is also rare to even spawn in that event - usually another enemy takes its place. I did the grind for that event in NG+ since it gives an equipment piece that removes the random encounters and only spawns the world map events. I am actually kind of annoyed at how many rare spawn enemies I've had to look for at the end of games nowadays, but I should expect this from Yoko Taro given the spawn rate of some enemies in NieR Automata.

I've already downloaded the third Voice of Cards game, but I'll probably hold of on it for a while - there's a lot of other games I've been beating and cleaning up the trophy lists for. This is just one of them!
