Some of my tips.
1. Focus on holding mats in your first playthrough. You will need those mats in NG+
2. Do not expect to complete every quest or dungeon in the first playthrough.
3. I suggest Yuela's route as your first play. (Choose I want to be more than friends)
4. Get your tools to 66 as fast as you can. You can then convert wood on a 1:1 basis. Good source of money.
5. Save Amonite Shells(need 50 for a quest), 5 of each Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire.
6. Stockpile Ripe Apples ( a pain to get and used in the twins quests)
7. In NG+ Mylen and Black Eshully are you friends. Also Use Rag as much as possible her death skill will save you a ton of time with shield wearing mobs. (Goble's are the worst.) EDIT- Actually on NG+ Rag is kinda meh.
8. The trick to one scene is have all three girls in the gothic armor at the same time.
9. Do not waste money on enhancing costumes in the first playthrough.
10. Omni weapons are you friend in the first playthrough. On NG+ you will have access to the Ultimate weapons.
11. Prevail + Undress = Uber Heroines.
12. In NG+ the Deadbeat dungeon is your friend. Just make sure not to kill the boss and you can level everyone to 99 in no time flat. Equip a Marwens ring or necklace and the training bracelet and you can go to town on the boss. Just try to be 3 steps away if possible to avoid his AoE. As long as you use range you will not get hit unless his reflect procs(If you are wearing the training bracelet you can't kill yourself with the reflect but the AoE will kill you).
13. Lily at 99 is a bit of a beast so make use of her. Apparently makes a great tank. (credit Skrymir for cluing me in.)

Post your thoughts, ideas, etc. I am not an expert even though I play one here.

I'm about to start my third playthrough on this but there are still a few things I'm not sure of. How exactly do I get the fountain of youth? And what are the requirements for H-scene for the threesome with Melo and Elza?

For the Melo/Eliza scene you have to complete all of the side stories(Not part of the main game)

I already finished both. I have Lily Leguna and the golem unlocked.

The scene is a bonus for completing the Extra Stories from the main menu. Make sure you have all the upgrades installed. Complete all the stories from the Hot springs.

Install

I do have the the extra stories installed and I just finished the hot spring an hour ago.I was expecting some awesome sex...but all i got was Leguna and the golem ;_;

Odd. If you complete all the extra stories you get the threesome. Check the Hot springs. First time I did it I didn't get a complete on one of the maps.

Aww. Then I'll try again and see if it works. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to get the fountain of youth?

Fountain of Youth is a reward for one of the bonus conditions for Advent Bay.

EDIT - May as well add some tips as well.

-all of the NG+ characters are really strong/overpowered. Mylen Ploa and Miss Eukleia especially are engines of destruction.
-Some characters can use multiple types of weapons which allows them to swap to elemental weaknesses or gain a useful skill for a certain fight more easily. Some examples are Aht can use both claws and gloves, Uya can use both claws and fangs, Paraskevas can use hammers and claws, etc.
-Some late game recipes use items only available once or twice per playthrough, or only available in specific routes, such as Maria's Heart, Stynia, some types of Gems, the Crimson Seal hammer only craftable in Yuela route, etc. Do your best to grab any bonus and look for all the treasures on maps to ensure you don't miss out on an item that you can't easily farm or access in other routes.
-Certain materials are only available off of bosses you only fight once and cannot be farmed at all, and are needed in many more recipes than you will have materials to accommodate for. Make sure you equip +drop rate items when killing the bosses who drop these. Specifically you can't farm Devil, Fairy, Dragon, and Fiend Beads. You CAN farm Angel Beads in a NG+ dungeon though.
-You need certain thresholds of the "Sense" and "Knowledge" workshop stats to unlock various recipes. The highest value you need to hit (as far as I know) is 250 for each.
-You can abuse resists to make enemies not use troublesome skills on you. Don't like getting charmed by harpys? Boost wind resist high enough and they won't want to use their song on you. Hate the tengus who use an instant kill melee attack on you? It's a darkness based skill so boost dark resist and they will just melee normally instead.

Some great tips. Also the Fountain of youth is for taking all Rally points in Advent Bay

I have question for people who have raised all their character to level 90+
Are the other girls have access to "Undress" skill. While it's main use is for eyes candy (lol), it does make our character considerably stronger.
My characters are mostly level 50-60 now, Aht and Suina are only 40+, only my main heroines have "Undress" skill, thanks to the cameo costumes.
NG+ characters are strong indeed, but my Yuela with Undress III, Prevail III, Evasive III, and Vorpal Counter III wiped the floor with everybody.
^_^
It would be great if Melodiana, Eliza, etc can also strip~
Didn't Eliza's subordinates strip when I invade her home?
The boss should strip too.
>_>

As far as I know only the main heroines have access to the undress skill.

Thanks. I finally got the scene.

Too bad.
I will forget about levelling them up then. :-P
Even grinding / powering up the main heroines alone has taken sooo much time.

Hey guys, I am torn between using the deadbeat dungeons on my 2nd play through. But they give a ton of money for doing nothing and leveling lily in one is probably much easier than having her in battle. Any thoughts?

Depends on your goals. Yes it is much easier to level characters like Hannah and Lily in NG+'s and the money is nice. And the only drawback is the deadbeat title(but if you beat the deadbeat god it is removed.) I never used it for the first couple of playthroughs but I have used it to level in my 4th playthrough. (Trying to max chars :-P)

hmm first real problem playing. How do u get 100% in valkyrie falls in the land of regrets?
They say use teleport or something, but I have mylen and haku, both with teleport and displace on haku, but can't seem to figure it out -_-
Help would be appreciated...

When it says use teleport they mean there is a teleport spot somewhere on the map. Usually hidden.

hmm. Not really. Solved it using brute force :D.
it doesn't say use teleport, but using "friends" who have a special type of movement, don't remember the exact wording, but it does sound VERY close to teleport.

bruto force method:
