Wow! I've completly fogotten how much fun this game can be. I've beaten the first battle at the monostary with ease, and took out those theifs at the beginning of Chapter 1. I've started brand new and fresh, but I gotta go read the manual...a whole lot more stuff to this game than I rememberd. Any tips offered would be great, since this is easily the toughest FF i've played. Hell, much better than going out and buying a strategy guide. I'm a nerd, haha.  |

Yeah, it takes a while to get into, and it sure as hell can get confusing at times.  |

| Hmmmmm......what kind of tips? I think the most important part of the game is that you should always have a diverse job class among your party members. I usually never have more than one character per job. You should also always have at least one curing character (either Chemist or Priest) or just make sure that someone has their abilities in the second action function. I always try to balance my team. I have strong characters (e.g. knights, monks, lancers, etc.) "weak" characters (e.g. wizards, priests, chemists, etc.) and long range characters (archers, chemists(they later get guns), wizards, etc.) A balanced tean in the best kind because you can cure and fight, and attack from close range and far range. I tell you more in a few, because I'm getting off of work right now. |

This is pretty off the subject, but hey, it's Squarsoft.
Have either one of you ever play Xenogears? That's probably one of the hardest RPGs I've ever played. |

OK. I'm back in my room. Let's see.......alright, another important concept is the JP. The kewl thing about this game is that you get JP whenever you do something successfully. This means you get JP for hitting enemies and your own party members. A quick way to learn different abilites faster is to go into a random battle, kill all the enemies except one, and have your party members start wailing on each other. I would do something small like Throw Stone so you don't lose very much HP. When a character's HP gets low, just cure him or give him a potion (preferable cure since it won't take money to replace).
Here's a good reference site that will most likely answer any of your questions. If you have any you want to ask me, just go ahead.
Damn! Now I want to play the game! But I need to study......d'oh well, playing it after the test will make it more enjoyable. |

random battle,
Honestly...I was unaware of random battles. I was under the impression that FFT was just a straight line or course through the story. I'm such a fool! No wonder I wasnt as strong as I would've liked to have been. So, random battles are accomplished by walking back and fourth on the world map correct? |

Thats a really creative idea. Did you come up with that yourself? I would've never thought of beating the hell out of my own people. |

I know......I think I did. But I might have read it somewhere. It is tedious, but it pays off big when you fight the "necessary" battles. For example, I used that just yestersay (well I guess two days ago) and when I went on that level that you couln't beat, I killed that wizard in one attack with my wizard.
Also, You just get into random battles on the green squares. SomeTIMes they happen like 5 in a row, others 1 in 10. |

| I know how you feel. I really want to play it, but I have a physics lab in 2 hours, and I have a religion paper due on Thursday. I need to control myself and not play that game for a few days. Damn you HTG for making me play this game again!!!!! |

That's the same one I can't get passed either, the one where he flies around for like 2 minutes then he finally lands?
But any way, back to Final Fantasy Tactics. |

| So far i'm making good progress. I'm still leveling up my characters, and I have an archer with a cross bow who's doing good. I have a priest thats using white magic, now I dont have to rely so heavily on potions. Ah...good stuff. |

| I'd suggest converting to a long bow instead. Better range, but you probably haven't gotten that far yet. |

| Yeah, the cross bow was all I could by at the time. What about this: Should I try and make a Wizard right now? And level him off? I've been thinking about it. Or maybe a Monk. |

| Hmmmmmmm.....first, what else do you have in your party? Because if your other three characters are along the lines of knights and squires, then I'd go with the wizard. But if your physical attack is weak, I'd go with the monk. |
