Oh Gondor, I Have Some tips for you =)
1) try to level arngrim and leone to level 35, sth good will happen, please DO IT BEFORE ENDING PALACE OF THE VENERATED DRAGON =)
2) Then level up Dylan and Lezard to level 40, other good things'll happen, or just use the expert experiences recieved =)
3)try not to waste magic crystals in idiot sealstones
4) the sealstones you use have GREAT importance, 40% of a battle depend on em =) choose well what you carry =)
5)Try to destroy monster parts and learn LOTS OF SKILLS
6) DON'T FREE ENHERJAR TIL THE END OF THE GAME, JUST D-O-N-T D-O I-T
7)Dashing Is VERY Important =)
8) if you are low of HP, escape from combats, you are NOT coward, this game has save points only in important places, but sometimes they are very accesible, sometimes they are not =)
9) ALWAYS CARRY MORE THAN 25 UNION PLUMES
10)Try to have LOTS Ofd curative Items, i always buy 99, i'm NOT exaggerating =)
11)experiment combos with your character, try to make the enemy bounce into a wall or the floor cause it gives you CT =)
12)check and learn every enemy's attacks, cause when you see the range of it, you know which atttack is
13)in EVERY DUNGEON you end, check the map so you know if you completed the map AND THE CHESTS
14) look for a faq telling where are the enherjars in each dungeon (They call them einferia O_O)
15)don't sell useless items, they ALWAYS do sth in the end =)
16)feed the dog, the cat, and the chicken 16 times for what they ask for and get the 3 rings =) the dog, cat and bird ring, you'll need it later =)
17)when you reach the volcano, be aware, there are TOUGH MONSTERS there =)
18) rest is ANOTHER important tip, just rest when you can, and every time you go into a town, be sure you have all you need, so you buy what you don't have =)
19)some sealstones will have good effects and they'll be put into dais sometimes defaultly....check VERY well those things, for example, in a firey dungeon, every monster is fire elementary, so if they got a sealston that makes
150% fire attack UP
-150% ICE DEFENSE DOWN
has 2 important effects, the fortification and the weak point, just look for what suits you most, if you have good defense but bad attack, leave it, if you have bad deffense but good attack, take it cause monsters will GET YOUR ASS
20) some monsters can only be attacked with magic OR elemental weapon OR while you are equipped with elemental accesories...they are the phantoms (The little floating souls, not the crystals, the other ones which you found first at serdburg mountain ruin), the flie type (they are VERY irriating) and some other ghosts, BE AWARE, THEY DON'T LOSE A CHANCE TO ATTACK
21) if next dungeon is elementary of an element, in the last town you visited's shop it'll have weapons containing opposite element attack, don't be a fool, check for the effects, the quantity of attacks and everything and see if they are cool =)
22) check also for the armors
well, i guess that's all i can tell you for now, any problem you have just POST HERE and we'll WON'T spoil =)
Very good luck, and i hope you fall in love with VP, it's the wonderfulest game i have ever played =)

OMFHG! Don't tell me you haven't leveled arngrim and leone to level 40 and dylan and lezard to level 45!?!?...Oooh boy, you SURE've Missed some serious good weapons and items U_U, well, maybe you'll survive without them...JUST KIDDING! XD But they are a big deal =), if i were you i should've done the effort =)
Everytime you recieve a new character, de-equip everything from them, they can leave, and they can leave you good items =)
did you get valkyrie favor and bahamut tear?? and the other two weapons??
also go back to every town, they have new stuff and new sidequests =)
in this point of the game learn EVERY SKILL YOU CAN WITH ALICIA AND RUFUS

oh, you are there already? well, check the tips i wrote...try not to haste in those combats, the opponents are a little tough...what level are your guys??
oh, buy ice elemental weapons, and check very well which sealstones you use in the dais and which you carry (maybe you know, but i didn't notice til my 2nd playthrough

, sealstones in a dais affect opponents, sealstones you carry affect you)

I'm racing through Chapter 5  I'm impatient first time through a game when it comes to seeing the story - I want to see it all at once XD

don't be impatient, that's the worst thing you can do with this wonderful game, i know the story is catchy, but once through, you can't go back, and being impatient means being quick, and you can miss LOTS of things, even without noticing

i have reached my 5th Crystal run (once you finish the game you can restart it with a higher difficulty, one crystal, two crystals, til 50 crystals...that'd be deadly XDDD) the first 1 first crystal run was very tough...just try to check this faq, not for help, just to see if you are missing sth =)
