i soft reset because there is no way im gonna spend hours releveling up some noob person. but i rarely get killed cause i take advantage of the game.

i get 1 monk 1 white mage and then 3 whatever and then kill all the enemies but 1 and get the last enemy really weak at which point he will generally move away from my party. then i just continually attack my own characters and use white magic when they get weak and then use chakra to replenish the white magic. and if the enemy doesnt run away i just make sure i can move farther than it and then just run circles around the edge of the map, while hitting my own characters
