13. Monsters of FFT
-------------------

There are many monsters in FFT.  A monster is a non-human unit.  Usually 
you’ll fight them on the battlefields on random battles.  Monsters are made 
for persuasion.  If you keep a monster in your party, and allow them to stay 
in for a few days, you can breed new monsters of the same species, but the 
baby may be a different level and/or class of the parent (you only need one 
monster for breeding, go figure.)  If you decide to keep monsters in your 
group, monsters have a special ability you need to use the Monster Skill to 
have the monster learn.  (Monster skill, Squire Support ability).  The last 
listed ability is the special ability of the monster.  Monsters come in three 
kinds, or classes.  There is Class 1, the "weakest" class compared to other 
members of its species.  Class 2, is stronger than Class 1, but weaker than 
Class 3.  Class 3 is the strongest, usually with very special abilities and 
stronger attacks.  Another thing about monsters is their skins can be 
poached.  How?  Have a character with the Secret Hunt ability equipped kill a 
monster with their REGULAR attack.  No fancy magic, or sword attacks.  They 
have to use their weapon to get the skin.  If you poach the skin, the skin is 
sent to the fur shops all over the world so they can make the fur into an 
item.  You may get a common item, or a rare item when poaching monsters.  
When you poach a monster, their "body" leaves the field, so they cannot be 
revived and don’t leave crystals or chests.  One last thing about monsters, 
all monsters have a basic counter-attack.  (One square, physical counter.)

NOTE: R=Reaction ability, S=Support ability, M=Movement ability (Some monsters 
may not have one of the abilities).
If you didn’t read above, the last listed ability of each monster is the 
special ability (unless noted).

14. Propositions and Treasure
-----------------------------

Propositions are the jobs you find in bars.  You can only get propositions at 
the beginning of Chapter Two and beyond.  You send up to 3 human, non-special 
units to go and have them do the job.  In order to do the job, you need to 
pay a job fee (some jobs are free) and then you can send the units.  Some 
jobs can be done with any units, some need a recommended kind of unit to do 
complete the job successfully.  (ex. Master Math would need a calculator sent 
in the 3 person group for best success.)  If you don’t most likely the job 
will fail and you’ll won’t be paid back fully for the job fee.  The recommend 
job class made be told you by the bar owner, or the job description.  Basic 
rewards for jobs are gil, treasure, or unexplored lands.  The gil rewards 
usually surpass the job fee, so you get more money in the end.  Treasure and 
unexplored lands are just for show, you can find the ones you found in the 
Brave Story section in the menu.  Contrary to popular belief, finding a 
unexplored land won’t open a new spot on the map.  It is impossible to find 
all the treasures since zodiac stones also count as treasures, and by the 
time you get all of them, the game is over.  There is a reason of getting the 
treasures and unexplored lands.  Doing so will gain you Adventurer 
(Unexplored Lands) and Treasure Hunter (Treasure) levels.  Certain jobs will 
open only when you reach a certain level of adventurer and/or treasure 
hunter.  The only to unlock certain jobs are to complete other jobs.  The 
most obvious example is the Thief Zero series.  There are many Thief Zero 
jobs, so completing one will open the next.  You have no control of how the 
job is done.  However, choose the days carefully.  Make it even if you plan 
to go between two blue places.  When the days needed to do the job are 
complete, go back to the bar where you signed up so you can get a report on 
the job.  However, if the job is complete and you take long to get back 
(game-day wise) the chance for failure increases with each passing day.  In 
the report, you get the list of bonuses, gil reward, and job points earned.  
The JP is usually in the 100s so you can gain job levels quickly on jobs.  I 
like to use the job JP points to have someone unlock all the classes.  Try to 
have people who need to level up in a certain class, but you don’t use a lot 
be in a job.

15. Unexplored Lands and Treasures
----------------------------------

Although they don’t effect the game too much (except helping raise your 
Adventurer or Treasure Hunter level to unlock some jobs), Unexplored Lands 
and Treasures are great to show off to friends.  The Unexplored Land or 
Treasure you get from a job is random, so don’t expect for me to tell you 
where you get them.  The only way to get Unexplored Lands or Treasures is 
from jobs!  (Okay, zodiac stones and the scriptures are treasures and you 
get them in the game, sheesh! :P)

16. Secrets & Tips
------------------

Weapon Duplication 
This is a good trick, so you can share some of your better weapons.  You 
can’t use this for other items or two-handed weapons.  Have a character with 
the Two Swords ability equipped, put a sword in one hand, and a shield in the 
other.  Now go to a weapon shop, and pick Best Fit.  If the shop sells 
something the character can equip, it will be in red where the shield was.  
Buy the sword and check the formation screen.  In the list you will see two 
of the first sword and one of the best fit weapon.  You will have to pay the 
cost of the equipped weapon and the best fit weapon.  This is best used for 
rare weapons, which only have a cost of 5 gil.  (They are too rare, so people 
don’t know what they are I guess.)

How to get Beowulf
In Chapter 4 go to Goug Machine City. You will need Mustadio in your party. 
Mustadio’s Father will show you a metal ball and zodiac sign.  Go to Goland 
Coal City and go to the bar and listen to the Ghost of Colliery rumor.  Now 
go to Lesalia Imperial Capital.  You will automatically go to the bar where 
Beowulf will ask to join your party.  Say yes and he’ll join as a guest.  
After the scene, Goland Coal City now will be red, meaning there’s a battle 
or a scene to be played.  It’s a battle so go to Goland Coal City.  You will 

fight battles 49-52 in Goland.  Beowulf will be in the battles helping. When 

you beat the last battle, Beowulf will join as a controllable member with 
Reis, the holy dragon, and you'll receive a zodiac stone.

How to get Worker 8 
When you get the zodiac stone from Goland Coal City, return to Goug Machine 
City and Mustadio’s father will activate the metal ball.  The ball is Worker 
8 and he will join the party as a controllable member.

How to get Reis 
Reis will join your party as a controllable monster the same time Beowulf 
does. Reis will be in dragon form.  Go to Zeltennia Castle and listen to the 
rumor of the Cursed Island, Nelveska. When you leave the city, a path will 
appear leading to Nelveska Temple.  Even though it’s red, you can’t to 
anything there yet. Go to Goug Machine City.  Mustadio’s father will show you 
another machine and the zodiac sign on it.  Now go to Nelveska Temple and win 
the battle. You get another zodiac stone and Reis will turn into a dragoner.

How to get Cloud
Bring the zodiac stone that you got at Nelveska Temple to Goug Machine City. 
The machine will activate and Cloud will appear.  He will run away. Now go to 
Zarghidas Trade City.  You must have bought a flower from Aeris in Zarghidas 
Trade City before to continue.  You’ll enter a battle at Zarghidas Trade 
City.  Win the battle, and Cloud will join as a controllable member.  To use 
the Limit ability Cloud possesses, you need to win the Materia Blade.  (You 
can get a hint if you click on Cloud’s name, select Cloud in the formation 
screen, press select and pick his name.)  You can find the Materia Blade at 
the highest point in Bervenia Volcano.  Have someone with the Move-Find 
ability equipped go to the top of the peak to find the blade.  A normal 
jumper (3 range) should be able to get there.

Learning Ultima
It’s harder to learn than it looks.  First off, you have to get Celia or 
Lede, or Ultima Demons to cast Ultima on Cloud.  Cloud has to be a squire, 
and has to be hit by the Ultima spell to learn it.  However, they rarely cast 
it as the assassins opt for Switch Stick and Stop Bracelet, and the Ultima 
Demons like Dark Holy.  If you do learn it, it’s really good.

Learning Zodiac
Zodiac is a summon spell. The only way to learn Zodiac is like Ultima, have 
Elidibs cast it on a summoner.  Elidibs is isn’t too hard, his physical power 
is very low (does as much as damage as the dancer’s Wiznaibus 14-15 HP) and 
he can’t move far.  However, the attack range for zodiac is very large.  To 
begin, I suggest you kill all the apandas (they shouldn’t be hard, if you 
equipped Orlandu with a powerful sword and Mustadio with a spell gun, they 
apandas should fall when attacked by both) to begin.  It will make it easier 
to send your summoner to the top.  When there are no enemies except for 
Elidibs, send your characters.  Elidibs likes to try hit multiple characters 
with his spells.  Before the spell is done charging, have some units with the 
Battle Skill equipped to lower his magical power.  It will be easy since you 
lower it by 3 with each hit.  When the magic is cast, the power should be low 
enough that the summoner could be able to survive the hit.  The summoner 
could also have low faith, but low faith is a bad thing in magicians.  When 
the cursor switches between the summoner and Elidibs, you have learned 
Zodiac!

Poaching
Poaching is the only way to get some rare items.  The uribo species is a 
really rare species, but if you happen to fight some, pray that someone has 
Secret Hunt equipped.  I find the best thing to do when hunting, is to have 
someone disable the character (Sleep, Don’t Move, Don’t Act) so you can have 
the person with Secret Hunt get in range to kill them with their regular 
physical attack.

The Easy Way to Gain Levels
While fighting in battles, when the battle is under your control, don’t waste 
a turn, use an act ability that doesn’t need a enemy target, or uses a item. 

Of course, there’s more to that.  Later in the game when you have Mustadio in 

the party, you can have him use Leg Aim on a long one-range attacker, and 
have him keep using Leg Aim.  Bring in a tough knight which can take damage 
that the disabled character can do.  Have that knight use Battle Skill to 
break anything that’s possible, (Humans-Head, Armor, Shield, Weapon Break, 
Monsters-Magic, Speed, Power, Mind Break), I suggest lowering their speed to 
01 first.  Also, make sure the knight isn’t in the way of Mustadio’s sniping. 
Have the other characters use their attacks that help them gain levels.  

(Squire-Accumulate, Monk-Chakra, Thief-Steal Gil, etc., etc).  The only thing 
that is bad with this, is that it is long to get a high levels, and it will 
be boring staying on the battle for a long time.

Breeding Monsters
The easiest way to get new monsters through breeding is to walk between two 
blue points.  The class or level of the monster is totally random however.
