You can defeat the 3rd form at lvl80+, i beat it at 70+ @ normal, i read some people can even do it at lvl50+ @ insane, lolz wtf

With proper skills equipped and proper tactics(and your own skill), it's not that hard.

The combo count isn't impressive, i can do better (with yuri of coz). BUT one thing i definitely not capable of is, the guy is like using EVERY single artes available! I can do well over 200 combo, but i'll keep repeating the 4-5 artes, long boring combo.

Try setting everyone on turtle mode, Zagi will only chase you down, then you can just stay at the edge and block, wait till he does the flying thing, release overdrive.

Yea... the traveling distance doesn't carry over to next game.

Dude my first run was over 110 hours with quite a lot of traveling, and i still needed to fly 9 hours more to get it >_>
