Hint: You'll quickly find your inventory overflowing with things that you never
use. Hang on to them; you'll need them later when combat gets harder. Battle
is the most time-critical event in the game, so keep battle items in the first
few slots for quick access. When hunting Chocobos, put greens in the first
slot so you can use them before your quarry runs away.
Hint: To win a battle, sometimes you have to do the unexpected--like attack
yourself or "help" your enemy. For example, if an enemy imprisons one of your
characters, you can sometimes break free by attacking your own character.
Likewise, at times you can damage an undead enemy by casting life or using
Phoenix Down on it.
Hint: Keep trying. For example, there is a rare, early Megalixer (restores
everyone's health and magic points!) hidden in a cabinet on the top floor of
the inn in Kalm Town. You can't reach it at first, but keep trying and you'll
get it. Keep this in mind for other obstacles.
Hint: Here's how to catch a Chocobo after you've visited the Chocobo farm:
Select Equip Chocobo Lure Materia. Run around the world map following the
Chocobo tracks. When you fight a battle, a Chocobo will appear on the enemy's
side--don't attack it! Feed it greens to keep it from getting away. Destroy
the other creatures before the Chocobo escapes. Congratulations: you should
now be riding a Chocobo. If you dismount, it will run away.
Hint: Chocobos are useful for riding around the world map and avoiding fights.
Later in the game you'll find or breed Chocobos that can cross water and climb
mountains. Use your first Chocobo to cross the marsh to the southwest of the
Chocobo farm and avoid the Midgar Zolom. The adventure is just beginning...
