Hey,
As the topic says, I've played and beaten FFTA, and I just picked up FFT today. In FFTA, there are a lot of tricks for getting things, such as the "get-the-cinqueda-at-the-beginning-of-the-game" trick, which you follow up with getting the steal weapon ability, then stealing certain 1-of-a-kind items in storyline battles. There's also the region-create thing, which basically forces you to plan out the entire map before you start to get the items you want.
If I want to play through FFT without missing things, is there anything I need to know before I start, or can I just play and expect to pick up everything along the way? If I miss an item at some point in the game, is there any way to get it later? Is it even possible to miss items? I don't know how the game works at all. I'm just worried based on my FFTA experience.
Any tips for a first-timer would be appreciated. Please don't spoil too much of the game for me, though, if possible.
