    1) Don't die
    2) Use potions when your hit points get low

    Zidane: There is an ability called Auto-Regen, once you get that ability on all your characters it defeats the purpose of a white mage.

    Steal with Zidane at every opportunity. Later on you'll get a skill that will take advantage of this. Also take the time to engage yourself in the Chocobo side quest during the game rather than at the end. The items you can find whilst playing via the Chocobo really help out. O, and make sure you spend time mastering the abilities available to you, and equip as many +stat equipments (that's speed, strength, spirit and magic) just before you level up.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Do absolutely everything. Read everything in detail. Don't let any little thing slip. Learn every ability you can. When running low on money, come back on the forums and ask for the little trick

    Advice:

    - Talk to every creature you meet

    - Search every inch of the world

    - Always stock up on items

    - Be sure to equip each character with his/ her strongest equipment (the game can do this for you, but I recommend that you do it yourself)
    - Check their individual abilities

    Steal from bosses until they have nothing left,
    Get Quina in Qu's Marsh before Grizumluke's Grotto,
    Equip strongest weapons except in that one place,
    Don't sell an ites until you learn all you can learn from it,
    Try to fight a lot of battles, unless you're really weak, so you can get a lot of gil,
    when you have Quina in your party catch frogs in Qu's marsh,
    when you have enough money and items synth a lot of the jewels you use to summon to make your summons stronger.

    If possible, buy every weapon and armor to learn it's abilities. Also, do the entire Chocobo hot and cold sidequest so you can get awesome treasure

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    That's pretty good advice. xD

    Be sure to light any candle you come across in the game.

    I agree. Do not do this, and especially not on your first playthrough.

    Zidane I also concur, perform the sidequests first play around then if you try a second play around, gun it to less and get Exculibur II, but the first playthrough is something special.
