o.k. im in the stillshrine of miriam. i've only been using Vaan, Basch and Fran. they are on level 28 around and the others are around level 9-13.

im doing well for weapons and armour but my magic isn't so good.

i've got basic green and arcane magic. level 1 black magic as well as water and aero and i my best white magic spells are cura and aero.

i dont think i've really been training very well or balancing my characters. apparently i should have level 2 black magic by now and i just think i should start the game over because my strategy in most random encounters has been attack, heal and occasion use protect and blind.

what advice would you give me? no spoilers of course. im just not happy about how well im not doing on my first playthrough.
