How exactly do I get more stages(Bouts).I already cleared the game and started it again but I have only 4 of 32.

I haven't played that game myself yet, but I expect that you have to open up the rest by special achievements in the main parts of the game, including completion of optional subquests. That's how these things usually work. But someone else will have to fill you in on the specifics for this particular game.

Did you search for info at GameFAQs. I think one of their FAQs on this game contains the requirements for the bouts. One of those requirements seems to be the difficulty rating you had when beating some chapter, like Easy / Normal / Hard, but there are other and more specific conditions for some bouts.

I looked at GameFaq but I didn't find anything useful(maybe I didn't look hard enough).I think the requirements for the bouts is to clear the stage at,at least B or more likely A rank to unlock a bout.

I already clear the game twice and I'm not playing it anymore(the song at the second form of Grim Stroud is really cool).Now I'm playing Atelier Iris 3 again and the next one will be Mana Khemia 2 at the end of August

The only problem with this list is that according to it you should have more than four bouts unlocked, even if you only beat the game on EASY difficulty. So there may be some errors.
