mists are useful but they will not win you the game unless well timed, it sounds like you have levelled suffciently, that's all. The mist charges are a risk as they wipe out your MP, if you have a lot to do, it is very tricky.

I am well-levelled (I think), party all around level 23, highest 25, lowest 21 and i've just reached the Jungle area. Still the last few marks i've just killed in one mist combo which like I said, seems a bit of a fluke - still, no reason to complain, its up to me whether I choose to use it. All of my chars have 3 quickenings and it seems a bit soon to reach this state. My levels aren't that high but i've got pretty far around the license board with all of my characters, I must have been racking up the LP quicker than usual. If you cap at lvl 99, I imagine i'll have covered the whole board ages before then, especially as levelling up becomes an increasingly long process.
Decided to swap around my main party, can't stand Vaan tbh and even though he's the lead and I feel he should be my main character, i've had to replace him with Balthier. Now have Balthier, Fran and Ashe which i'm quite chuffed with. Think i'm going to have to get rid of that elfin bow and give Fran a lovely katana.

Also during the final process i reached the chain limit, the counter stops at 999:
Now I'm farming items to make Tournsol. I was worried that maxing out the levels would make things easy but there are still a few places that can put up a fight!

I picked up this over the weekend, first Final Fantasy since number 7. I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to play some more! I really like the battle system, well...I will like the battle system when there is more to do (only have one other in party at the moment). I keep trying to take down enemies far harder than me, must stop doing that - should have known that it wouldn't let me kill a T-Rex at level one

In some ways I wish I was in your position, its one of those games you desperately wish to forget and play again from the beginning just to experience it all over again whilst still being fresh. Anyone else get that? - when you feel nostalgic thinking about the beginning of a game. I'm on my own here aren't I...
Even so, I still havn't finished, i've been trying to fight the harder marks without relying on mist, not getting so far, but i've taken a few down.
I only just realised that I had been completely forgetting to equip my characters with proper armour, some of my characters defense ratings were below 10 when I reached Phon Coast. Anyway, i've done some saving and got them all equipped with decent armour, all those black garbs I robbed in the Salikawood certainly helped here as well.

I'm not really liking the inability to use items until I've grabbed the licence. It's a very clever system and I appreciate the benefits it gives, but if I see a sword that's better than what I'm using, I want to use it!
I'm finding the licence board a bit daunting.
Gambits are awesome though, as is the battle system. Took down the first boss in the sewers last night, which was easy but fun!

AFter seeing this thread pop up, and the fact I've given up FFXI I gave it another go. The story bores me silly, all this knightly stuff really isnt my thing, its so convoluted (and to be fair FFXI suffered from this too at times, but this is overload). But! the game is so addictive and easy to play what with the gambit system, crude but fun, makes grinding the levels much more bearable. The style grows on you eventually, but if you come from XI its not as fantastic in creature design, but the scenery is really great, ( with the Exception of the Kings Tomb which looked sillly with so many spikes , more like a toy) I am only Up to the snow mountain now and 28-30, I have No idea how much longer the game has to go but I have already clocked up over 40 hours! I wonder if I will be able to go back to replay a couple of other ps2 rpgs after this I never got round to ( FFX & X-2)

And then I have to replay half an hour of gameplay to get back to them. Bad save point!

Yeah you can grind before hand. I've done it now, just levelled up once for all characters and managed my Gambits and licences a bit better (took two healers). I also did what it told me not to do and took out all the adds before taking on the bosses, really helped. The second encounter a bit later on was quite hard but fell first time

Ugh I'm feeling I'm way underpowered with this game. I've come across this flaming bird thing (
entrance to tomb
) and it wipes my whole party in a few minutes. I barely scratch it. My main party is about level 14 but the rest are level 12.
During the mist attacks what am I meant to do with the 'shuffle' command?

As for the boss, if i'm thinking of the right one than
there should be a certain item you can get to make it easier. Went down no problem for me and I don't know how far thats because I had this item, or because I was just over-levelled.
