Tips

When forming your initial party, ensure you select members other than Zell and Rinoa.
The MG Junior Classman can be missed; be sure to catch him on the 2nd floor.
Paratroopers can be mugged for Remedies and have Aero, Esuna, and Water drawn from them.
The mech battle is a rock-paper-scissors style minigame. Blocking (SQUARE) is effective, but timing is key. Kick (X) is fast but weak, while Punch (CIRCLE) is slow but powerful. Observe your opponent's actions to counter effectively.
If you struggle with the mech battle, you can start with an extra 200 HP to negate initial damage.
There is an Aura draw point available after the mech battle.

Cottage (if obtained from the MG Junior Classman)
