Honestly, the only way to win that fight on the roof is to hope to god that Rafa runs toward you guys. Otherwise, she'll get killed. That battle has nothing to do with skill, and everything to do with luck.

I had issues with the ineffectiveness of pheonix down on (SPOILER) Teta. For all intents and purposes she's a guest character where normal rules don't apply for the sake of the plot. I can understand why, but the inconsistency bothers me.
Not really.

When a character's HP runs out, they don't die. They become too wounded to fight and defend themselves, thus making them as good as dead. But in the case of (SPOILER)Teta, she was too wounded to be revived by a Phoenix Down. So it's totally consistent, because the same applies to any other time a character dies, like, well, anyone else who dies. You can't just bring them back to life with a Phoenix Down.

That's why I don't like that the status is called "Dead" in FFT, because they're not dead. In a lot of the other games, they're called "swoon" or "unconsious" or something besides "dead".
