Okay, so I played for a little while and I died fighting Garland...well, everyone died but my white mage. So, I imagine that the only way to revive myself is with phoenix downs, which are hella expensive. Am I missing something obvious, or is that really the only way to revive yourself? Expensive phoenix downs?

I know I suck. Nobody has to tell me. :P I've just been spoiled by games that fill your HP and MP with a simple touch of a save sphere.
