I proceeded along in Orphan's Cradle after doing very little grinding in Pulse and Edenhall (through portals). And I got past the part where I defeat the Jabberwocky and whats-his-name (the 2 beasts in the temple area you teleport to). But so far, I see no way to go back. Is there a way to go...

How did you get HP to 8000+? Is there a double-max-hp spell/accessory in this game?

I grinded up until I got another 70k crystal points to play with. And I went with Fang, Hope, and Sazh and got him in 17 mins. The 2nd half of the battle was a bit of a crawl because I struggled to keep up with healing and he kept dispelling my buffs. I don't suppose there is a way to...

I've upgraded a number of weapons to level 9. But it looks like advancing on the crystarium is much more effective for increasing strength and magic. Anyways, whats the most efficient way to grind from where I am (savepoint before Oerba Barth encounter). The best I've found is to backtrack from...

I've been going with the character combo that every source recommends (Light/Fang/Hope) and perform my usual routine of buff/debuff at the start (Evened Odds), swap between Diversity and Relentless assault paradigms, and occasionally switch to combat clinic or back to evened odds. But its still...

Do all characters have a given rate at which each stat (strength, magic, vitality, speed) goes up when gaining a level or is it in some way influenced by the licenses or weapons you use? Right now, everyone has a magic stat of 20-25 except Ashe who has 34. I want to improve another characters...

I almost had my first game over in those tunnels with the electric spiders that suck up power in the area. I only had one character that could use Black or White magic (Fran) and didn't think I needed to license my other characters since I wasn't planning on turning them into mages. Obviously I...

I used Dark and Disable on the judges. I don't know which of them worked, but I was taking alot less damage that way.

I played FF1 through 10 back to back recently. And I think Necron from FF9 was the hardest storyline boss, or at least the most annoying. His abilities force me to spend most of my time healing and reviving while occasionally squeezing in a powerful attack.

FF7 was the first one I was excited for the release of. FF6 was the first one I tried. But I was about 8 and didn't understand jRPGs at all. I can remember renting the game once, loading somebody else's saved game, and exploring the Narshe Cave in the WoR. I tried to fight mages with spells...

I recently used a luck sphere on an empty node near Wakka's position. But I forgot that I need another special kind of sphere to activate that node, and now I'm holding back on Wakka's sphere grid advancement until I get it unless its reaaallly far down the road. I'm currently in Macalania Woods...

Easiest: FF9 or FFX Hardest: FF2. Most of the harder FF games require you to grind more. FF2 pretty much requires you to have a working long term plan for your characters.

I've been playing the final fantasy series again. And this time I've been playing them in order, 1 through 8 so far, and now I'm on 9. And the ATB combat feels even more slow and sluggish than FF4. Battle speed is cranked up to maximum, but still, the ATB gauges fill up quite slow, and there...

I have 2 dragon fangs with me and I need two more to build the Lionheart. But I can't get any at all. Every guide/source out there tells me to go defeat blue dragons in the trabia area or on the island closest to hell. Well, blue dragons aren't very common in either area. And whenever I DO...

I'm using an emulator and a keyboard. And I rarely ever have trouble using Sabin's four other blitz techniques. But I have never been able to get this one to work. Its never happened. The blitz I'm talking about is the one that heals the party, I think, its supposed to be RLRLXY. Is the combo...
