It is even a valid strategy early on to have your characters throw rocks at each other and have one character with the monk class use Chakra to heal and revive anyone. This is quite literally aura farming.

Cute.

I'm playing this now. I've played the earlier versions so many times that I used to be able to get through with minimal grinding if I wanted, but hoo boy, not on Tactician mode. Those enemy Summoners in Chapter 2 are no joke now. I didn't go the full Arithmetician route but I definitely couldn't mess around. It helped out that Mystic Arts got like a +20% hit rate buff, a nice workaround for the reduced damage my party does on this difficulty. Also got a nasty surprise with the zodiac changes. It used to be that Pisces was the safest route for Ramza on certain bosses, but in The Ivalice Chronicles, it's the most dangerous.

I just got to Chapter 3, so with poaching open I can do all the busted things, including Chantage, which everyone (!) can equip now. Chapter 3's also a lot easier than 2. Well, until THAT part, anyway.
