I have a list of a few I made while figuring out the game. When I first played it, it was on the SNES and it was known as III here. There was no strategy guides or walkthroughs I had access to, so I just plugged it in and trudged through. However there were a few things I didn't realize, and didn't think about at the time that made me want to cry. Here is my list!

1. I saved my game on the river only to be under levelled to fight Ultros with no way of grinding a few up.

2. I said Smurf the Empire and joined the resistance only to recive the gauntlet instead of the much more impressive Ganji Glove.

3. I never waited for Shadow

4. On a boss fight I used a rage with Gau that would heal the boss more than I could dish out.

5. It took me 2 years to find the smurfing Air Anchor.

6. I believed everything the people told me in Zozo as fact missing out in a fit of rage on the chainsaw in my first playthrough.

7. I stuck with one party the whole game making me have to grind aggressively at the end to get through the final dungeon.

8. I never used Gau for years not realizing his potential. (Reason 4 to blame)

those were my mistakes early on, what were some of yours?
