Characters in the front row always deal more damage, but also take more damage from enemies. Last but most certainly not least, the row your characters are in is extremely important. The rest is completely up to you, and there's no "right party" for the job. If you value your party's life, however, we recommend you have at least one White Mage. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses. However, in most other portions you will be able to choose your own characters. For some of the game you will be forced upon specific characters (Treno, for example). Running low on HP? Need someone revived to help turn the tide? Just chuck a potion or Phoenix down and you'll most likely be set.Ĭombination of characters is also an important factor. Particularly in the beginning of the game when you don't have many spells, potions and phoenix downs are, quite literally, life-savers. Having a good battle strategy is key to killing some of the harder enemies in the game.Īs with enemies, when you're up against bosses it is absolutely essential to come prepared. For example, if you have Dagger and Steiner and you're fighting a Crawler in Gargan Roo, it would be a worthy decision to have Steiner do the bulk of the attacking, and have Dagger heal and cast Protect. Once you're aware what enemy you will be fighting in a battle, it's worth coming up with a suitable battle plan to kill them. Once a character's ATB guage is filled, they can perform an action. Alternately, if you have the Alert support node selected, you will not run into back attacks.
This can be done by pressing the left directional button, and selecting "Switch". If you run into a battle with a back attack, the first thing you should do is switch rows. Back attacks switch the row each of your party members are in (front to back, back to front), and halt your ATB guage for a short amount of time. When your party (or the enemy) are facing backwards, this is called a back attack. Taking part in their requested activities is beneficial in the long run.īattles can begin in one of two ways: Either things are completely normal, or your party (or the enemy) are facing backwards. Instead, they will either begin a quiz event (Ragtime Mouse) or ask for a specific stone (Friendly Monsters). However, while in forests you may sometimes run across Friendly Monsters or the Ragtime Mouse. On most occasions, this theme will be the normal "random encounter" or "boss battle" theme. When a random encounter or boss battle begins, a specific theme will begin playing. The choice to fight these monsters or not is up to you.
Unlike Final Fantasy 8, monsters in specific areas are always the same level throughout the game (until Disc 4). By running around from place to place, certain "random encounters" will force themselves upon you. Battles begin at random times on the world map.
