Ramza Dark Knight may be good, but the Dark Knight skillset on Super-Squire Ramza is much better.
Though there are lots of really powerful twinking things you can do IMO it is a lot more fun to play through and learn about the classes yourself. But I have a few more general pieces of advice.
- Always save after every battle. You can loose characters permanently, so even if you can win the battle is better to just reset the game if a character gets permanently killed. (when they turn into a treasure chest/crystal)
- If you are ever prompted to save while still in an area that means you have to fight multiple battles in a row. It is a good idea to save to a separate slot so that if you can't beat a battle you can go back to your original save and level up before going back to the location.
- If you are casting a spell or any other move that require charging you can press the left arrow to show a a list of all character turns and when the move will be performed.
- You can press triangle and go to Turn List to see when everyone will move
