answer:First of all, you should be able to go back to the regular world, and obtain items you are missing. Replace Quistis. Squall and Zell are great choices. Irvin is a good addition if you have the ammo for him. If you have any cards, use your refine ability. If you have card mod, you can refine your cards into helpful items, then use your other abilities to refine magic, then junction your magic to your stats. Learning how to use Zell is a good ability, but be careful with the timer. What you want to do is repeat the same combos (punch rush & high kick). The above is the advice of my son. Don’t ask me about it. I have no idea what any of that means.
