hi, this if my first time attempting to make it through this game! I remember it coming out on the SNES, but I think it was $60.00 or so at the time of it's release. also at this time, I was to busy with Mario World and other Nintendo titles. I didn't get into final fantasy games until X was released unfortunately. I remember VII being a HUGE deal, but I had a N64. I've played VII-X and enjoyed them all!

if anyone has any hints or anything you might be able to send my way, just let me know! so far, I really enjoy this game. I get lost a lot though. I've made it 20,682 steps so far and I've just completed the Ghost Train part. is this good, or can you tell that I get lost frequently?

are there any extra characters that I might be able to recruit?

any specific items I should be on the lookout for?

so far, I've spent TONS of gil on poitions and phoenix downs! is this a typical strategy for this game?

I'm also having a hard time understanding the move that requires you to hit a few things on the controller (<-, ->, <-, etc.) is there a list of these moves anywhere so that I could write them down?

any helps is always appreciated!

all the best,
Jody
