This applies to other games in the series, too, but...
I'm of the opinion that the first rule is: Carry Phoenix Downs. Would anyone postulate another first rule? Or other rules along the same line of reasoning? -------------------- X is blue. |

Steal Everything from Everyone.
...or at least if Djibriel's guide on this site is to be believed! Hahaha. This could also apply to IX. Probably moreso in fact, since you have a thief almost the whole game for every fight. Edit I like where Spooniest is going with this in the post below.

Ok, this is interesting...
So far we've come up with rules that are associated with the first two characters. Tina would say "Carry Phoenix Downs." Locke says "Steal Everything." What does Edgar say? This post has been edited by Spooniest on 19th August 2013 11:20 -------------------- X is blue. |

Talk to every female character and hope the writers included a romance subplot with your player-character.

I am lolling here. (Wait, "lolling" is in the spell check?) I never seem to use Phoenix Downs, but hey are a vital safety net. Anyway, Sabin would say:
Memorize the Blitz attacks. That one is not very clever, but it will do. |

Auto Attacks are for chumps. Spam special abilities from the back row

Tina: Carry Phoenix Downs.
Locke: Steal everything! Edgar: Talk to everyone! Shadow: I may leave at any time. Sabin: < > <, then press A! Celes: I can simply absorb the attack with my Runic Blade! Cyan: We can't just go around hitting switches and activating machines, who knows what'll happen, and anyway, it's not...polite... Gau: Gau become stronger on the veldt. Setzer: The airship's ready! Mog: Kupo! Strago: If their stone forms are disturbed, the resulting imbalance of power will wreak havoc! Relm: Relm's gonna paint their portraits! Gogo: This should be fun. When do we leave? Umaro: U'ghaaaa!! This is my 100th post! Yippee for meaningless milestones! This post has been edited by Spooniest on 22nd August 2013 01:10 -------------------- X is blue. |

Talk to every person in town, and read every sign. You never know when you might need it to advance the plot, or some sort of detail on the next boss.

Know the elemental weaknesses/absorbs of your enemies. You don't want those Fire Claws on Sabin healing the monsters in the Esper Cave.

Ok, here's a bit of intermediate strategy.
Do you bring people who you're going to find equipment for, or would that be acting with foreknowledge (a no-no in tabletop games, as I understand it). I suppose either approach is valid; you can play the game with the strategy guide running in your head (the most common approach I see), or you can play like a beginner, making decisions based on what the characters might think in that situation. A beginner would play based on what they imagine the characters think, especially if they couldn't afford to get the strategy guide right away. -------------------- X is blue. |
