Bought it on release date and I'm totally hooked.

Either make the AI controlled characters more intelligent or give us a finer degree of control in their commands, because they tend to waste all of their MP in the first battle they come across.
Just make good use of all out defense and attack. See an opponents move coming? Go all out defense, block it, then revert back to all out attack. Simples. I agree it's annoying that you can't see their MP though. I just allow Esthar and so on to use familiars with tricks that contain low MP (Water Bomb ) so they don't run out after every battle.

Speaking of which, what are your guys familiars?
