The best way to win in any fight is staying in EX Mode as long as possible. It's kind of sad that like most of us here (I'm sure) I used my EX Mode as a means of getting to my EX Burst as soon as possible.

I'm pretty bad at strategy, unfortunately. I've been trying to dodge and chain stuff and the like, but I get frustrated really easily. As a true FF fan, I've learned how to play the hell out of this game, but ...well, as a true FF fan, it's been a difficult process.
