Good looking out
Right now I just finished the map in the woods (still on Chapter 1). I have Ramza as a knight, and I've got a black mage, a white mage, and another Knight in my party. I have another character that's still a squire. No casualties yet, but I've definitely had to reset a couple of times because of the fact. These random encounters
You guys have mentioned black mages, white mages, thieves, and knights as classes I should train up. What are some of the better classes? Which classes should I avoid?
Build up on Mandalia Plains and reach at least level 15 before going to Dorter Trade,City. Learn new abilities from Chemist, Knight, archer, thief, Monk, and so on for the warrior classes in your unit. Stock up on potions and phoenix downs. Get more Gil by learning the "steal gil" as a Thief in battles.
Stock, stock, stock. Dont even bother going to the next story battle until you do so.
