Final Fantasy XII - Walkthrough

Now, to focus specifically on the game there are a few general tips that are incredibly helpful to know before you begin the game:

#1 - You don't have to upgrade your equipment every time a new set becomes available.
Money is scarce in this game. New gear appears ALL the time.
It doesn't hurt to use the same set of armour through a couple of dungeons, and it will
save you plenty of money in the long run.

The same applies to spells. If you don't need new spells, don't buy them, you can always pick them up later.

#2 - Don't sell the Great Serpentskin when you get it as a reward for doing a hunt.
If you do sell it, you --> CAN <-- still complete the sidequest (there was a rumour
that you couldn't). The only difference is you don't get a bonus item, and the bonus
item tends to suck anyway. Try not to sell the skin, but if you do, don't sweat it.

#3 - Status effects in Final Fantasy XII and ten times better than every other Final Fantasy
game. Spells like Protect and Shell are great, but unlike previous games, toss Blind and
Silence on enemies (even some bosses) and suddenly they can't do shit to you.
Rule of thumb: Blind, Silence, and Berserk kick ass in this game. Who'd have thought.

And with that, we are ready to begin the game...
