I downloaded the demo but only played a few minutes of it. Anyone have any tips for beginners? It seems to just put you into the game without much explanation. Anything would help since I heard your progress in the demo carries over to the full game.

Preordered the collector's edition so I'm looking forward to that.

I only played on Medium, but having a White Mage really helped me out in the first dungeon. There's several traps that Blind your party members, and it's really annoying when some enemies just happen to appear after you get hit by the traps. I'd recommend staying close to the main town, getting experience and enough money to buy good healing items and magic books. After that, you can focus on getting new equipment. If you focus on rebuilding Norende, you can get even better equipment, so I'd recommend buying stuff from the Adventurer (the guy that lets you save near the inn), if you can afford it.

Past that, I'd recommend just experimenting with different jobs and skills. I used a Ninja, Valkyrie, Red Mage, and White Mage turned Black Mage for the most part.
