You've been warned.
Aside from the obvious romp through the sewers and that one boss battle on the bridge, I can't think of anything else that requires lots of advanced preparation for disc one. Hoarding cash for Ether Doublers and Holy Pendants is a whole other story though.
Not sure what bridge battle you're referring to but I know (SPOILER) the first battle with Elly and her boys is where Flying Arrow got stuck and the fight with Cataclysm might have had this issue, too. Then there's also that one (SPOILER)Grahf battle on that big aircraft you escape on, maybe although I'm not sure...
