Just make sure to wander everywhere you can. talk to a majority of folk. You don't want to miss any of the extra characters (or first necessary...), and the system is 'Esper'.

[Bahamut2000X]

You don't get to use the system of the game till a few hours in when you get your first pieces of magicite, but basically the system works like this, you get these little rocks called magicite which are the condensed versions of magical beings, Espers, you equip one to a character and then you can summon that Esper once in a fight, but notably as you win fights you get AP (or something similar I forget the name at the moment) which goes into teaching your character spells associated with that Esper.

For example Bismarck teaches you Bolt, Fire, and Ice at a rate of X20, meaning for every AP you get, you have learned 20% of those spells. When you hit 100% your character knows the spell and can cast it.

Also some Espers give you stat bonuses on level up if you equip them. So a lot of people use that when they level characters to try and max out their stats as much as they can.

Hopefully that all made sense.

I suggest that you check this playthrough.

The only thing that's horribly important that you remember is when you're on the floating continent. Go up to the edge twice and choose not to leave, then wait for the timer to run out.

[Flying Mullet]

KoShiatar knows the score.

This game is very open-ended for the second half of the game so you don't have to worry so much about missing things. And if you do miss something, no worries. You'll just have to play it again, which is always worth it.
