Hint: Defeating Steiner:

Hint: Defeating the Soul of the Ancient Tree of Life:
When fighting the Soul of the Ancient Tree of Life, never use a Fire spell. If this is done, it will counter-attack your entire party with this Fire magic or do an attack that can deal over 700 HP of damage. Sometimes he may even use it two times in a row that can immediately end the game. Instead, use others spells such as Ice 2 or Bolt 2, which can do some very heavy damage on him.

Hint: Defeating undead creatures:
When battling a creature of the undead type, use an anti-KO item and it will instantly "kill" them.

Hint: Defeating stone creatures:

Hint: Defeating Bosses:

Hint: Gilgamish:
Once you have completed the Chocobo side quest and found all of the treasures, go to Daguerreo. Talk to the four-armed man. He should say something about an "S-Rank" and run off. Follow him and talk to him again. He should give you the S-Rank Medal, and reveal his true self (Gilgamish).

Hint: Quadruple magic attack:
When you get a reflect ring, have the four characters you regularly have in your party with learn "Auto Reflect". When they all have it turned on, cast a reflective party spell, such as Bio or any of the elements, at yourself, This will effectively quadruple the power of the spell on a single target. However, this is only helpful for lower levels and is virtually useless if you have great spells.

Hint: 9999 damage with Atomost:
The formula For Dagger's summon Atomost is as follows:

Full Animation: (30+ Party's number of Amethysts)% of enemies HP.
Short Animation: 2/3 of Full Animation formula.

For example, if you have 70 Amethysts, it takes 100% of the enemies HP off, with a limit of 9,999. This means an enemy with 12,000 health will lose 9,999. This is useful while training against Yans, Grand Dragons, and other difficult enemies.

Put the Airship on auto-pilot, then press Up or Down to change its altitude while flying to your destination.
