im new to final fantasy II and i need some help, i have a couple of questions.First of all, how do i equip items for myself?Not the other poeple in my party.Second, how do i play as another person in my party?

[DarkLadyNyara]

Can you clarify the first question?

As for the second, you can't. Well, unless you leave your party leader KOed.

every time i buy stuff i can only equip it to the other person in my party, not myself. Howcome?

If you use OPTIMISE, it'll equip the best weapons and armor to your character.
So, it means that you only get the best stuff equiped to your character. :rolleyes2

Use your brain...that's what other people do, not sure about you...

One Winged G already explained what Optimize does, read the post. It equips the best weapons possible, which you have at the time to your party member.

BTW is your first FF?

[Captain Maxx Power]

Using optimise will equip the weapons with the highest attack power and the armour with the highest physical defence. Most of the time, this is not the case. In FF2 you want to be dual-wielding weapons of choice for most of the game (it's easy enough to simply change your character's specialised weapon to whatever the strongest is e.g. the Axes from Mystidia), and you want to achieve maximum evasion. This is achieved through shields early on and lighter armours later. Anything that gives an Agility boost (Black Garb, Thieves Gloves) is also highly recommended. In this sense, using optimise doesn't mean you'll be optimised. Genji Armour, if you have a full set, will automatically be equipped with optimise, and happens to be the worst set of armour in the game.

how do i use optimize?
