Tips for a beginner?!

The We shall Fight like Men!..and Women!..and Women who dress like Men!!! It's FAQ Time! thread has an optimal leveling location around the middle of the game. That would be a good place to stop and level up any preferred job classes.

Nifty! I had just gotten to the library last night and my party got wiped out by that spell because they're all level 15. Time to gain a level and return. Thanks for the help, everyone!

You can throw elemental Rods at bosses in order to do a lot of damage. For instance, throwing an Ice Rod at Magissa kills her instantly! Also, after you get a ship, there's a mechanical enemy on an island that you can encounter and steal Ethers (I think) from to sell for a lot of gil, which you can use to purchase lots of elemental Rods.

On the island you obtain the airship, there are some enemies that have the Death Sickle, which can be stolen and given to Berserkers to do crap ton of damage as well as random instant death.

With this, you can go to a cave near the lost city where the Earth Crystal resides and farm Metal Squirrels for AP. Otherwis its damn near impossible to kill those enemies with your current levels and job classes. One of the better places for AP farming in the early parts of the game.

Goddamn it I beat up all of those bombs at the Tycoon Meteor and the save screen glitch crashed the game

when you get to gogo, do not attack him, just sit still for about 30 seconds and he commits suicide.
master ninja and samurai for super warriors. make krile a white mage because she looks neat as a white make. when you get to the world trade center, dont pause before the second battle or the planes will hit the towers. (only people who have played before will understand this.)
