You think you got it tough, when I was 8 my dad threw my supernintendo off our 15 story balcony because my school grades were horrible.
later on he felt bad about it and bought me an n64 on launch day. I still loved my snes too much.

I would but I don't want to change ramza's class from a squire.
I might try the tailwind/focus trick if all else fails.

Also does anyone know how to unlock the Dragoon job or any other useful ones because the job tree on GameFAQs is useless and makes no sense,even with my awesome knowledge of awesomeness.

But I found tactics advance a lot harder.
And I'm up to the Wiergraf battle right now just died the first time.

I'm trying as a Squire got any strategy suggestions?

this is a very good thing, I hope you hang on to this and never get exposed to any of that garbage.

*mashes x, character is actively doing something on screen*

*presses x, character casts fire II, wait for characters next turn, press x*

One of these is inherently more interesting than the other

also the "strategy" you're talking about is *CAST FIRAGA III* but don't  tell anyone 

like seriously even in chrono trigger THE BEST JRPG OF ALL TIME or whatever in the final battle all I found myself doing was *cast best spell, heal/revive, repeat* yay for the complex strategies!!!!
heck even in FABLE i find myself rolling around and defending and waiting for the opportune moment to strike which is more strategy than firecannon XII *deals 992 fire damage*
and Morrowind I have to plan things out carefully cause I play sneaky characters with few combat skills on hardest difficulty so even the first cave with the smuggles in it is a painful ordeal ("okay now that I stole this sword of paralysis and have a ring that grants invisibilty I will be able to paralyze the one with the spells while I try to kill the guy with the huge axe OH GOD I SHOULD HAVE PARALYZED THE AXE GUY MY STRATEGY IS POOR)

so much for your "more strategy" argument, heh heheheheh hehe heh 

edit: like honestly the most strategy i think ive found in any rpg (besides strategy rpgs like fire emblem) are like Craze/!\'s rpg maker games and its pretty bad when the best example of a piece of your genre is from RPG MAKER

FF9 is terrible it ignores everything that was good/interesting with what 6-8 had developed and said FUCK MAKING SENSE LET'S GO BACK TO DUMB FANTASY and it was hideous. Everything was piled on cliche where you turned your playstation on and cheese literally dripped out from under the disk cover. I meanevery character was pulled out from THE BIG BOOK OF FINAL FANTASY STOCK (guy from lost race, magical princess, romantic knights in love, lost child belongs to evil servant race, spunky young brat, OOH HE'S SO BASSASS character, evil jesters, SILVER HAIR GUY IN BIKINI). And hey let's not mention the final boss who has less than nothing to do with the plot other than 8RANDOMLY APPEARS*Hey I want to fight you to kill, and was Very very obviously just hacked in there when the game was finished to have a full FF style final boss which is just a big angry dude.

I think interms of atmosphere, setting, music, interesting locations and GENERAL LORE than FF8 is still the most interesting and original and BEST QUALITY FF game there is. The thing is people are either too hung up on the junction system or that it has a LOVE STORY (Nerds HATE lovestories) with young people who aren't generic spikey-haired heroes (ok well... zell was, but it worked in showing how annoying those kinda guys are)

FF9 kills 6 and thats my opinion.
