I just got there. I think its a dead end. From the the lobby where you entered that dungeon, I think there's another door that will take you farther. I don't think I'm ready to progress, so I just backed out of that dungeon and ran off to grind a bit.

I've never played a final fantasy game before...but I have however, watched my wife as she played through FFX and Tactics on the GBA and it looks like a something that for me would fit my DS playing very well (quick battles every now and then, and long lasting). So my question is: should I hold off for FFVI nest year or just buy this one?

This might be a nice introduction into the series, other than that it's farily hard/grindtastic. If you want something now, FF4 on GBA might be more representative of the series.
Everyone says it's really hard, but I just finished the dungeon with the second crystal, and I've been smoking every boss with minimal effort. My characters are all level 26, though... am I really that far ahead of the curve, or are the brutal ass-kickings going to sneak up on me?
Best thing I've found to be ready for the bosses in dungeons is to play through the dungeon when you get there, and when you come across the last room with the boss teleport out. Save, then dive right back in. Worked a charm for me, and I didn't need to grind at all. Fighting all the way in both times.
Asked this a few pages back, after kicking ass in eureka, is the last chance to save just outside the crystal tower?

Second rule of Teacher Club: You DO NOT touch the kids.
I personally slogged my way through dungeons then went back out the long way to earn some more exp. As a general guide line, you should be about lv55 to have an easy time with the final boss, although if you have high HP (thanks to levelling Monk or whatever) then you may start earlier. I'd advise scrapping all notions of keeping spoilers locked up and go through some FAQs to find the side dungeons (alternatively use Sight magic or Goblin Bread on the world map, it just displays every possible entrance on the map), if you don't want to bore yourself grinding repeatedly at some location.
If you encounter a tough opponent, Teleport is a guaranteed escape. Just pray your caster is fast enough.
carbon13: You can save outside the crystal tower, you have to be in the world map of course. No saves inside a dungeon or a town or whatever. At all.
I just opened up the rest of the world and got my floating ship. Where do I go from there. I see 2 small islands and 1 large island. The buiding and the cave in the large island are both locked from going anywhere. what is next? what did I miss?

Well I leave the floating continent...See them larger map and only 1 tiny island to the NE and a small and large island to the E\ SE.

Correct, stat boosts for leveling the character. Onion Knights suck until you get them up in the 90's:
Thanks. That sucks, all that guarding for nothing. Any recommendations on a good spot to character level?
Bahamut's cave is the best, 5700 or 3800 xp from every battle.
Although job levels aren't worthless either, the characters will be better than they would've been at level 99, job level 1...except if they're always doing 9999 anyways, well.
Bahamut's cave is the best, 5700 or 3800 xp from every battle.
I was afraid of that. I thought that I'd read there was an enemy that constantly summons during battle. I had hoped to just keeping killing the summons to increase xp but I guess that won't be happening. Rats.

Those guys are in the Crystal Tower, and neither they nor the stupid things they summon are particularly rich in XP.

Oh, there're little tentacle enemies in the crystal tower that keep summoning weak mage thingies. But there are negatives to that method:
a) you can only get one job level in a battle at most
b) you have to pay attention to who is attacking what; in Bahamut's cave you can just keep tapping A

My desired endgame job levels are all at 99 so I'm just looking to character level at this point. You make a good point about having to pay attention though....killing the summoner in question would make the exercise somewhat pointless.
I just got this game yesterday for my birthday. I haven't even opened it yet.
Someone tell me what team to make so that I will be awesome.

Can anyone shed some light on the location of Doga's Grotto? I have absolutely no idea. I've been all over the world map. I broke down and checked gamefaqs and the guide's only instruction is to, "follow the path carved into the mountains."
This doesn't help me at all. Really want to finish the game.

My favorite starting team is warrior/thief/monk/red mage. Keep the thief and red mage for a long time, change the warrior to knight, maybe change the monk to something like geomancer.
As a general rule, most magic in this game is undercut by a nice, powerful melee man. But you do want some source of white magic at all times.

Alright.
Is Thief the strongest melee class? My friend was highly impressed with his thief's ability to deal damage.

Honestly can't remember for the end game, but as long as they have decent weapons compared to the warrior types attack power (there can be long times inbetween upgrades for daggers) Thieves will kick ass because they will do more hits.
Many melee classes are created equally. Knight is probably the "strongest" just due to his ability to wear the heaviest armors. Ninjas and black belts may do more damage than him though. Thieves are not very strong, they just job level fast and get a lot of hits in, making their damage more equal to the big guys. They lose out somewhere in mid-game but then get it back when the throwing weapons like boomerangs come into play.

Which sucks because I feel like I've grinded a *lot*, but apparently nowhere near as much as I should be.
If that's really the case I might just stop playing altogether.
Like my party is either ok and I'm progressing fine or I make a wrong turn and suddenly my whole party is dead in one round.
