I figured, since he is, without a doubt, one of the coolest characters in the game, that I might use him for the rest of the game(just got him in Narshe), and I was wondering if anyone had any Esper/Magic recommendations for him.

Just get all the spells/dances. The dances can be useful.

Use well known spell combinations for best results. (vanish, and doom/x-zone, etc.)

Don't forget to equip the Moogle Charm when you get him! It prevents all random battles for whatever party he is actively in.

The thing he is best for. Kind of screws him over in the end, though.
As far as Espers/Magic goes, just whatever. I have them all learn all the magic anyways.

Since Mog's Vigor is pretty darn low and his special skill Dance is both random and heavily depending on attacks that require the target to be suspectible to Death-based attacks (Cave In, Snare, Snowball, etc.), be sure to have offensive magic first, healing magic second and effect/status magic thirth. Especially in boss battles that Sonic Boom/Cave In/Antlion/whatever can be quite annoying, so if you want to play to win, skip the Dance skill in tough battles all together.

I must admit that my Mog is a healer and only knows some White spells along with Pearl but I have a freakish obsession with having my character only learn magic that's fit for them. Mog's my White Mage, so I'll never put Tritoch or Crusader on him.

Alright, I just need two more Dances for him(I made absolutely sure to get Water Rondo), and I'm slowly learning Magic for him. Hopefully enemies will give some good Magic Points later on..

I love Mog even more in that he comes in at LV25 with 1,100 HP!

Yes, learn Water Rondo! I was about to warn you about that.

What's so great about it?(just wondering)

Just because it's hard to get unless you know what you're doing. Just incase

It seemed easy, just easily forgotten. It doesn't seem that hard to go through the Serpent Trench again. Except now, how do I get back to my airship on the Veldt?(I'm currently in South Figaro).

You fight cactrots there, a*d they "ive out not only 10 mag(c points but also 10000 GP. There are h+overs there as well, which also give 10000 GP but only hand out 5 magic points.

Go out of South Figaro (ask the boatman on the boat). Pass Mt. Koltz to go to Returners' hideout. Then, go on the Lete River (don't worry, you won't return to Narshe, but to the weird guy house). After, you can go to Nikeah to buy a chocobo (to go faster) or go directly to your airship near Barren Falls (I think that you wouldn't ask if your airship was at South Figaro or Nikeah). After, take your airship and go kill that clown!

The best way is to park the airship by Nikea, go through Barren Falls, land on the Vedlt, go through the Trench, and you have the airship waiting for ya

Thanks guys, I really needed it. Are Cactrots and Hoovers hard to beat? Terra's at LV21 along with Edgar, Mog and Sabin are 25 and 24.

Cactrot: having Atma Weapon and Offering will help OR having any weapon and Spiner Sight OR Edgar's Drill and maybe some Sabin's blitz.

Hoover: Be protected against wind (or Sand Storm will get you mad) and be quick, because he'll do crush (a big physical attack that is very powerful)

Cactrot: Make sure it's unblockable (or it'll miss) and barrier-piercing (or it'll do 1 damage). Pummel, Dispatch, Drill and Setzer's Dice all work here.

Hoover: the ticket here is instant-death attacks. He's very strong and will completely annihilate your party if you are low-leveled and attacked mindlessly. Doom works, but Air Anchor is better.

And keep in mind that this is located in the World of Ruin ONLY. If you're at level 21, I very much doubt you're there yet.

The Collapse of Heaven and Earth

Yeah, I'm kinda in the World of Balance. Just before the Cave to the Sealed Gate. Where do I get Drill?

Yeah, I just got Mog, getting him instead of the Gold Hairpin, so I'm not in the WoR.

Buy it in Figaro Castle (put Edgar in first, for half-price ) or wait 'till the end of the game and steal some enemies in Kefka Tower

Mog, as I remember gets a (groupavg.level)+2 as his starting level, so you might find him somewhat useful when he joins. Mog seems to have about average stats in all areas.

Also, he is the geomancer/dancer in the ranks of the protagonists, with his Dance skill. Make sure you get all his dances (including Water Rondo), and give him the best equipment (of course).

Since he uses a spear, feel free to make him a dragoon as well (three character classes!), even though moogles can't be dragoons in FFTA. (I didn't do that, but I didn't make anyone a dragoon anyways.)

As for magic, I teach every magic spell short of Merton and Quick to every character.

With Dance, Magic and Jump all ignore the row Mog's in, put him in the back row. This should help reduce physical damage to a minimum together with the Snow Muffler. Focus other equipment on Magic Defense/Magic Block (Aegis Shield/Force Shield) and Mog's almost unstoppable. You can't really go wrong with Mog when you have to right equipment. Beef up his Magic stat with Magus Hat and Earrings if you're as impatient as I am and want him to do a lot of damage.

I've got a pretty lenghty article stored somewhere on my PC. I'll be sure to upload it once on my site.

The Collapse of Heaven and Earth

Alright, I'm having him slowly learn Magic, making sure he learned some recovery spells first. Good to hear that he does well as a Magic-caster. It's going to be a hard decision between Strago, Mog, and Gau for my Magic casters(Gau with his Rages and high Magic Power qualifies him as a Magic caster, right?).

For now, I am using him as a Dragoon. Jumping like crazy, he sho is.

Yah, but his best bet is a Merit Awarg, a Wind Knife (sp?) and Stray Cat. This is known as Wind God Gau. Enemy survival chance? Nil.

Edit

*facepalms* D'oh! I just realized this... This data was meant for the GameFAQS board I had active! Darnit!! Well, for mog, SnowMuffler. Best armor ever. Also, I use him a lot for the Gem Box/Economizer combo. Quick+Ultima, ya know? Or, in an unpatched rom, Vanis/XZone in the same turn.

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!

Let's travel together!

There seems to be a not very well known fact about getting the water rondo. If you went back through the lete river and serpent trench then you did it the hard way. The easiest way is to first wait for the floating continient to rise up. Once this happens a landbridge is cleared between the crazy's man's house and Nikeah. (I think if you pay attention in Sabin's scenario you hear about this landbridge but you are informed it is blocked by an avalanche at the time). Using this landbridge, you can completely skip bannon falls/veldt/trench, which saves a lot of time.

As far as Mog's dances are concerned, they aren't that useful. Use the grassland dance if you want healing (it has a good probability of getting pearl wind or whatever). Otherwise just make Mog a caster. Mog has good stating magic stats, so you can just give him 2 earrings and put him in the back to make him a great character (I'm simply *amazed* how many people think so many characters are weak when virtually everyone except cyan and a few others can be made into a super mages with 2 earrings+osmose+ice2). If you want to have a little fun then give him the dragonhorn and make him into a Kain wannabe (make sure to have him use a spear for this, you'll get bonus damage).

Well, all I heard in Sabin's scenario was the path to the North being blocked...I'm guessing that's what you're talking about, but yeah, I guess I did do it the hard way. It doesn't really matter too much to me, though, I'm not particularly worried.

By the way, is it a bad thing if I don't use Cyan or Locke for a while? I don't find them that useful. Cyan's SwordTechs are alright, and Locke's thievery skills are great, but I really don't need them(plus Locke doesn't really have much of anything besides his Steal/Capture skill, it seems).

Nothing bad happens if you underuse certain characters, you'll still be alright. I would suggest building Locke primarily as a caster so he doesn't have to rely on his attack (start with osmose and cure2, then add your best attack magics). If you want to just have fun then Locke makes a good canidiate for the genji glove+offering combo since he has a very varied selection of weapons. Cyan is hard to make effective since he is a poor caster. The best way to use of him as a physical character is to give him a gauntlet+atlas armlet and use "fight" from the front row or give him a hyper wrist and use "dispatch" from the back row (all abilities deal full damage from either row, so you might as well exploit it the best you can). Although often people like to dump all their premium equipment on their favorite character, if you are going for a balanced army make sure to give Cyan at least one good piece of mblock eq, as I always find him rather weak defensively (especially with a gauntlet).

Sounds good. Yeah, Cyan doesn't seem to be too strong defensively, and QuadraSlam sucks because of the non-breaking-through-defenses thing. Locke is a cool character, but I haven't found much use for him yet, as he seems to be the weaker of my characters(even when I was using him).
