I just got the game, thinking that since Riviera was so fun, this game would be too.

But it's HARD! I'm on... chapter 3 I think (where you have to take over the bases) and well... I'm low on morale.

So, does it get any easier? Or are my techniques just bad? I know about the weapon triangle and union stuff, but I can't use the special moves on the cards yet...

Any advice? And please please please no spoilers since I'm not very far in the game yet.

*blinks* Thanks for hiding the spoilers... I've read too many walk-throughs and wrecked too many games for myself. Yggdra Union is not going to be one of them.

I've been using unions, but I've actually found going solo has benefits too... so I just have to watch who I'm facing. Yggdra isn't quite as strong as Milanor or Durrant (or the undine I have now ^.^) but she's good when the tide of battle is in her favor. I'm guessing she'll get stronger over time as well...

Cards... since I JUST unlocked using the special moves, I'm still messing with them... basically I've been taking cards that have high ATK and a good movement range, since I haven't been able to use special attacks until right now. Also, some cards can only be used by certain people, and since I only have 4 units... well, I have to pick carefully I guess....

Yes, I've noticed there are items hidden on the ground, but I figure that I'll play the game twice through anyways... so I'm not too worried... the enemy has been stealing most of my items, but I'll strategize better on a second play-through (since there's an item collection like in Riviera, yes?)

BF7 has given me a lot of new things, but I'll get through it... in fact, I almost beat the first half, excpet I forgot that Yggdra was standing on ice... and... SPLASH!

Thanks so so much for all the help w/ no spoilers... I really appreciate it!

Yeah, I've already wrecked this one because I read the spoiler tags and all.

I can honestly only think of one battle where going solo is actually better off than unioning, but you're far from that battlefield, and by doing that it takes you longer to complete the objective anyways.

And yes, Yggdra does get a lot better later. Actually, she can be one of the best units you have if you strategize well in the first few battles to get her some EXP. I'm sitting at about BF16 on the English version and Yggdra's just dominating right now. Of course I'm only throwing her against Axe and Sword users, as the Lance users I tend to face (Knights at the moment) seem to almost always win, but Yggdra has scored a few wins against them.

Some cards with low movement are a lot better than those with higher ones because of the skill they use. Such examples of this are Ace Guard and Mind Change, and Mirage has its uses as well.

Other useful cards because of their skills are Blizzard and Sanctuary. There are others, but you don't have them yet.

You'd be surprised. It may take me three playthroughs to get all the items because you can't get every single item in a single playthrough. And most likely the items the enemies are stealing from you are Medallions.

The first time I played this game (Back when I was playing the Japanese version), I thought that was a glitch. I even made a thread for it.
