Yeah, the "Save __" missions were purposely made not too difficult because your guests can be fragile and stupid.
Chapter 4 is indeed where the difficulty ramps up the most, but by this point in the game you should have a strong party with almost any abilities that you want.Propositions are even better in Proper to get those nice abilities like Move+3, Abandon, Auto Potion, Equip Armor, Defense UP, Magic Defense UP, Attack UP, Magic Attack UP, and Two Swords. You have Excalibur after Bethla Garrison which gives you Initial:Haste.
Get your Brave to 97 and your Faith to optimal levels if you haven't already. A 97% chance of healing 130 through Auto Potion can be really, really good.
Don't be afraid to keep using the ol' Green Berets on high evasion or Abandon characters until you get Flash Hats. That speed point can often help more than the additional 60 HP, 2 PA, or 1 MA that other hats offer. Carabini Mail with +1 Speed brings your slower armor wearing character up to speed a little.
In Proper, I like to have about 3 characters with Item or White Magic secondary, with the other 2 characters having Ying-Yang Magic, Time Magic, Battle Skill, or even Talk Skill secondary for buffs and debuffs when its better than just dealing damage. You may find a better strategy for yourself, however.
Special Characters (your opinion can and will vary)
By no means are they required, but special characters can fill strong niches in your party composition. Most of them will start with fairly advanced jobs unlocked to give you a head start in training them up and sometimes surpass your generics.
Agrias is a bit slow, but an optimal pick. With White Magic secondary, she can become a core member of your party, able to tank hits, revive key characters, and deal damage and debuffs.
Once you get Cloud, he is a strong offensive addition to your party, along with Reis.
Rafa and Malak are solid casters. Beowulf, Orlandu, and Meliadoul are all decent. Mustadio is good too.
As long as your enemies aren't more than like fifteen or twenty levels above you, each battle is perfectly doable in Proper with the right strategies and some trial and error.
As always, thank you for your input and for playing and supporting Proper.
Best of luck,

Thanks. I will be playing some more this weekend. Btw. That post was not supposed to say "insanely derpy" mod. It originally said something else... I am guessing someone changed that. I do not think your mod is "derpy" lol.
