Summoner Yuna
The pirate and the princess
Ok, so, I'm finally playing FFXII and I'm in the Westersand and this monster called Dustia appeared. I looked him up in a FAQ and it says that a good way to level up early in the game is by killing it with Phoenix Downs since it is an undead monster. However I was never able to target it with a Pheonix Down (Vaan would only target himself and miss). I know this may seem like a very n00bish question to ask, but: what am I doing wrong? I mean I'm no expert at FF but I consider myself fairly competent, so this really baffles me. Unless someone confirms my suspicions that you can't target enemies with healing items in this game. 
When you're targeting with something, in this case a Phoenix Down, Press L1 and at the bottom of the screen, next to all the health bars, the highlighted words (I think it's) "Team" or "Party" will un-highlight and then the word "Enemy" will highlight. Once it is highlighted, the targeted item/spell will target enemies. Its a great way of multi-killing undead enemies with Curaja. Anywho, you can also use the Phoenix Down on KO'd reserve party members. Press R1 while targeting with the item/spell, and the word "Reserve" will be highlighted. You can now target members of your reserve party.
