Ok so I recently purchased the original SNES FFV, im so proud, cost me a bomb though, so I was wondering if you FFV experts could give me any kind of tips and stuff, ya know, good training spots, all the good weapon locations, how to defeat enemies easy and stuff like that. Thanks in advance

In world one, get yourself a ninja and some techs/scrolls (throwable items in shops, or enemy treasures). Use a black mage to cast a weak spell on those grey skulleater squirrels in Jacole Cave, then toss the tech on them8)

In the second world, get a ton of softs, or level5 doom and head down to the basement of Val/Bal Castle to level up your jobskillz. Lots of AP

Switch out job classes often-- don't just use the same ones over and over.

[Shin Gouken]

After you fight Ramuh in world one, use him to wipe out enemies in random battles outside the forest where he dwells. It's (as far as i know) the best place for AP in world one.

Learn all the blue magics. Unlike in some other final fantasies (no names ) there are more useful blue magics other than just gaurdian. In some cases, the earlier you learn them the better. In the Ronka ruins, learn Blowfish from the lamia's and Healing wind from the Wizard fans.

Usually, the game will give you the tools you need right before you need them. You'll get a pair of silver glasses right before you first meet enemies that can blind you. Use Golem on the boss right after you aquire him. You'll find this happens alot.

If you want items, weapons, armours, relics spells, and summons, keep your eyes open for Mirage town nearer the end o the game. You get everything you ever need from there

Steal from Gilgamesh, thats all i'm saying (rom your third encounter)

master the hunter class for melee characters.master the red mage class for the mages.

[Crossblades]

Have a balanced party. Have two characters master mage classes and the other two melee classes

[Dreddz]

I would recommend Making all your characters fairly individual, so make them master different classes. When your near the end of the game, change to bare class and put two of your best skills in your two slots.
