  • Pay attention to the land unit height (h) to understand jump capabilities and positioning.
  • The game displays estimated damage and accuracy before initiating an attack, use this to plan moves.
  • Certain powerful abilities, like Ultima attacks, are exclusive to specific jobs and have high AP and MP costs.
  • To learn certain non-offensive Blue Mage abilities, a Beastmaster may need to control a monster and force it to use the ability on your Blue Mage.
  • For abilities like Blowup from Bomb/Grenade, the controlled monster must be in critical health.
  • Most failed Dispatch missions can be redone, but some may not reappear, so try to avoid failing critical missions.
