Oo lord that could take a while. Would you want an entire strategy?

And basically if you were strong enough to get through an area you were strong enough to go to the next one. Strength was more dependent on equipment than level. Chaining kills of the same enemy types gets you better loot, which means you can afford equipment faster, which means grinding for experience is a non-issue.

As to avoiding grinding? Get three Embroidered Tippets and three Golden.... was it Earrings? I forget. One doubles your LP, the other your XP. Keep the XP item on your active party and the LP item on your inactive party and you'll never need to grind again, plus you'll be able to fill out your license board before the end of the game.

thanks that definetely helps!

I was really bad with getting new equipment in FF12

I really dunno why, I mean FF7 - FF9 & FF10 were EASY JRPG's

then FF12 was suddenly very hard to me,it wasn't "fun" playing it most of the time, so I had to be going wrong somewhere at the core.

Anyway I'll make use of those idea's you gave me!

EDIT:

@torillian

thanks!

but I have never played an MMO!! lol

No problem. Torillian's got the basics down, but don't think of it as an MMO, think of it as being like a Final Fantasy where you determine the class. You'll be much more effective if everyone fills specific roles, even though all of them will end up with full License Boards.

Think of it like this: you need one person to absorb hits, one person to heal/cast status magic, and one person to deal damage.

Early on, everyone should have shields, but as time goes on only the person who absorbs hits should have a shield. THe person who absorbs hits is there to make sure other members don't get hurt, rather than deal damage themselves, so you need to give them a weak weapon that raises their Evade by a lot (I think the Gladius was best for this). In the end this character should be very hard to hit.

The person who heals should also act as your primary buffer - they're the ones who cast Hastega, Protectga, Shellga, and so on.

Status magic is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT in FFXII. FFIVDS is the only other Final Fantasy where status magic is this important.

The person who deals damage needs the most powerful weapon you have (it will probably be two-handed, which is why they can't have a shield), then you hit them with Haste, Berserk, and Bravery - they will be doing so much damage so fast that it will melt your face off.

You can set the person who takes hits to cast Berserk, and even give them some healing spells if you want.

Past that it's just a matter of arranging the gambits for your damage absorber and your healer.

That will get you through pretty much every fight in the game, especially if you keep some equipment with elemental immunities.
