Wi-Fi will always be my bane for this title (and FFT:WotL ) cause I'm still a bit miffed that I can't get access to Onion Knights or really any of the games sidequests...

On topic: Thanks for the tips. I grind my job levels up to 50+ so they can now hold their own against some of the nastier creatures out there. I might do the Kum Kum trick since I'm accustomed to that strategy from FFIV. Thanks for all the advice and help.
