2 Ways to Make Easy Gil

There are 2 good ways to make money easily.
1} Get a theif, steal everything from your opponents, weapons armour etc. and sell it. (If it is pwoerful/rare don't sell it)
2}Dispatch missions! you pay around 1000 gil for a mission thata only takes days to complete, then you get thousands in return! KAACHING!

Additional semi secret characters

What makes these characters so special is that when they are obtained they join with some of the hardest hitting moves in the game I.E. Lini's Charge Ultima

Lini: Moogle Mog guard, Ultima Charge
Finish ANY mission successfully (be it Dispatch, Clan Turf, or Battle) with the mission item THE HERO GAOL set as one of the mission items you would like to bring along.

Eldena: Viera Barrier, Double Cast
Finish ANY mission successfully (be it Dispatch, Clan Turf, or Battle) with the mission item ELDA'S CUP set as one of the mission items you would like to bring along

Cheney: Human Capture, Ultima Shot
Finish ANY mission successfully (be it Dispatch, Clan Turf, or Battle) with the mission item SNAKE SHIELD set as one of the mission items you would like to bring along.

Pallanza: Bangaa Blitz, Ultima Sword
Finish ANY mission successfully (be it Dispatch, Clan Turf, or Battle) with the mission item WYRMSTONE set as one of the mission items you would like to bring along.

Quin: Nu Mou Giga Flare, Ultima Blow
Complete mission 063 - MISSING PROFESSOR. (This mission is located at the Tubola Caves)

Littlevilli: Viera Double Shot, Doom Archer
Complete mission 043 - CLAN LEAGUE. (This mission is located at Bervenia Palace) Littlevilli may offer to join your clan upon conclusion of the mission. To make mission 043 - Clan League available, you must complete Missions 40 through 42 (which become available after surviving against Llednar), read the rumour "Clan League Final", and complete the clan missions Yellow Powerz, Blue Geniuses, Brown Rabbits and White Kupos. (These are Reserve missions)

Advantageous Battling

When your battling, sometimes you think you can use law cards as defense. Well you can. You can use law cards called "Dmg2: Human". There is also Dmg2:Bangaa, Dmg2: Nu Mou, Dmg2: Viera, and Dmg2: Moogle. When your battling, and you have a human on your side, and the opposite clan does not, you can use the Dmg2: Human law card. So when your opponent gives damage to your human, they will get a yellow card. If they do not have a medal beside their name, and they kill the human, they will get a red card. You can use this trick with a bangaa, viera, nu mou, or moogle also.

Allmighty Law Card

On the blade biter mission give Ritz the mission item Blue Rose and she will give you the allmighty law card.

Become Harder to Kill

If you want to become harder to kill, master Damage>MP, change to a job that doesn't need MP, and master Double Sword (humans only).

Characters With Medals

Certain enemies have small blue medals by their name. This makes them invulnerable to Law Effects, though they may get yellow cards, they will never get red cards.

Double Sword Skill

The Double Sword is an S skill that allows you to use 2 swords at a time. This is useful for learning skills becuase wearing 2 of the same weapon will double the amount of AP per battle you gain.

Duplicate Clan Members

Just so you know, you can't do this with Monteblanc or your starter guy. For this to work, you need two people and a link cable.

Key:

Clan 1 = person who wants two of the same character
Clan 2 = person who is helping the duplication
Jerry = member of Clan 1 who is being duplicated

First, Clan 1 save your account in both slots. Clan 2 needs to have a lot of gil. Then, Clan 1 trade Jerry to Clan 2. Now, Clan 1 switch to the account that DOES have Jerry. Next, Clan 2 trade your version of Jerry to Clan 1. If done correctly, Clan 1 should have two Jerrys

Note: If you save something wrong, then you will be totally messed up and will not have Jerry anymore.

Easy EXP.

What you need to do to get easy EXP. is this. This cheat only works with the human and moogle races. First, change your job class to theif. Then master the ability Steal:EXP. Now engage a clan.(or it could be a mission) What you do now is kill all of the enemies exepct one.(works best if you keep the ennemy with the lowset lvl alive) Now all you have is let the ennemy attack all your characters except your theif. Hopefully the ennemy will get a lot of experience by attacking you.when it's the thief's turn select steal,steal:EXP and you will steal the experience from the ennemy. You can do this all you want to lvl up your characters, check the law. If it says "Forrbidden:Steal/Recommended:Aim" use a law card or do another battle. Igot one of my characters lvl up by 6 in just 30 minutes!

Easy Nu Mou Level Up

What you first need to do is get a Nu Mou into an illusionist class. This Class is posted above. After he becomes an illusionist master the absorb MP ability ( lordly robe Negotiate Lv.45 I think) Then turn him into a time mage and master quicken and reflect. Cast reflect on an ally and then cast quicken. The quicken will bounce and hit you then youll get 10 exp. You can do this over and over till your desired level. Lv. 50 is attainable in about one to two hours.

Gia flair and explode

On the game when you obtain babus and Quin you can see that the two moves Gia Flair and explode look similar and the do around the same damage(mine are both level 45)and the combine strength is imense so use them as a team.

Hidden Characters

Shara: Viera
Finish "A Maiden's Cry" mission (which becomes available soon after the completion of the game). NOW GO STRAIGHT TO ANY TOWN! A cutscene will begin to play. After the cutscene, Shara should offer to join, if your party isn't full.

Ritz: Human/Viera job classes
Finish the mission called "Mortal Snow" (which becomes available soon after completion of the game). After it's done, Ritz should offer to join your clan.

Ezel: Nu Mou
Right before the end of the game (after Cid asks you to help with Ezel's new card), go to the Caodan Card Shop, and choose the option "Gossip". Ezel will say something about you being a mediator for negotiations between the palace
and the resistance. Then he will post up a mission in the pub, called "Reconciliation" (NOTE! If you haven't finished the first mission he gives you, you'll have to do that one first before you get "Reconcilation"). Complete it, and you should get Ezel.

Babus: Nu Mou
Finish the mission called "Left Behind" (which becomes available soon after completion of the game) then enter any town. A small cutscene will play, with Babus asking you to come along with him to Ambervale. After the cutscene, DO NOT LEAVE THE TOWN. Go straight to the pub, and select mission "With Babus". Once you've finished that mission, there'll be a scene where Marche asks Babus to be his friend. Halfway through the scene, Babus will offer to join. Voila! (NOTE! Immediately after the cutscene where Babus asks you to come along, you MUST go to the pub and select the mission "With Babus". If you wander around the map, the mission WILL disappear, never to return.)

Cid: Human
Clear each and every one of the 300 missions available in FFTA.

Hint: Extra Experience

If you ever run into a gel-type creature called a flan and need a little exp, here is a tip. First kill off every other enemy on the field, and then surround the flan with your people. Use regular attacks on it, which will only do 1 damage, and if the enemy is of sufficient level, you'll gain a few levels while slowly killing it.

More Effective Treasure Hunts

The most effective Treasure Hunts are performed like this:

Best: Two of the same type of symbols (e.g. two forests) at the top of the circle and two of the same type of symbols (e.g. two mountains) placed on the bottom part of the circle on the world map, with another symbol in the middle (as the final symbol placed).

2nd Best: Four symbols in a circle with another placed in the middle (as the final symbol placed).

3rd best: Three symbols in a circle with another placed in the middle (as the final symbol placed)

No Worry Battling

If your really fed up with laws, than try to lure your battles in "Jagd" places like Jagd Dorsa and Jagd Ahli. For example, say you had a mission that required you to defeat another clan (missions with the blue devil-like head logo), you could try to make them go to Jagd places where there is no laws. But make sure they go there plus you meeting them in the limited days for the mission(unless its an "unlimited days" mission). Now you can battle without worrying about getting yellow or even red cards!

Quick Reset

To reset while in the game, press A+B+START+SELECT.

Recruit Judgemaster Cid

To earn Cid, you must complete all 300 missions.

Recruit Quin

To get Quin to join your clan, complete the "Missing Professor" mission. After the battle, Quin may ask to join your clan. Be sure you have room in your clan for Quin or you will miss the opportunity.

Recruiting Units

When you have 5 or less members in your clan, Montblanc will put up Recruitment Missions. These are 5 day dispatch missions that will get you another unit. Each month gets you a different kind of unit.

STAY AWAY

When you are in battle, take extra precautioon and stay away from high ledges, because if your opponent knocks you back, you will fall and take additional damage. Keep this in mind if you have a Fighter or a Gladiator that knows the A-ability "Knock back", you can use it against your opponents when they are on a ledge.

Success or Failure?

When you go to the pub and you choose a dpatch mission you will go to the character choosing list, look to the right and there will be the character that you have the selecter on. The character will either be, Jumping up and down, walking normally, or down on his/her knees. If he/she is jumping up and down it means the mission will be completed with out problems, in other words, he/she will succeed. If the character is walking normally, then there is a 50/50 chance that you will succeed. If the character is down on his/her knees... don't even try the mission, you're hopeless!

Totema

To use the totema found in the game, you must have exactly ten judge points. There is one totema for each class.

Ultima

Ultima is the most powerful magic in the game. Once a character learns it, switch that character to a class with a weapon that has a long range like archer or gunner because Ultima's range is based off of what your weapon range is.

Unlock Expert Missions

To unlock Expert Missions, beat the game once and save. When you start again, you will have a star next to your name.

Untouchable Character

To have an untocuhable character, you need a paladin that knows the fight skill "Strikebaack," and "double Sword". When your paladin knows these moves, equip him with 2 Excalibur Twos, or an Excalibur Two and the Nagrarok. Thus you have a character thats nearly unbeatable.

Using your time for easy level up

When in battle, if you plan to "Wait", don't! Use your time! If your character has an ability that raises defence, heals, or anything like that, just do it. It will allow your character to level up without wasting its turn. If your character however, doesn't have an ability that doesn't give damage to other people or something else, then you probably would use a potion or some item. But thy not to use items for exp.!
