Zidane's chance to steal was entirely too low.

Quina was an amazing character (supposedly) but I can't figure out how to make her/him great.

After Marcus and Steiner escape from the hanging cage, you can stand by the ladder and level up for hours by just holding the X button down, if you have the blood sword. If you have a rapid fire controller, you can actually set the X-button, and walk away. In an hour I gained 20+ levels. (Not so much that I hate this, even though it's a cheap way to level/beat everything, it's pisses me off a bit that I didn't realize I could do this the first time through.)
