Nostalgia Rush

I'm actually going through Romancing Saga 3 for the first time and having a blast. I just hope that I made the right choice picking Julian. I got my butt whipped by Arakes recently. I think my problem is that I haven't trained anybody with magic yet. It's a race to kill tough enemies before they can level me with an attack that hits all party members at once. Any advice would be great since I see that some people know the game well.

I'm always playing older RPGs. I play them more often than I play newer ones. I started the original Phantasy Star recently. I just love the charm.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Not sure if I should ask here rather than through PM but what the hey if nobody else minds.

I haven't defeated any Abyss Lords yet. Arakes was the first I went after (Devil King Palace) but I didn't feel like I was causing enough damage yet to take him down. My best attack is Rushing Wind which causes around 1200 HPs of damage. Even then three of my people can't do attacks that break 1000. Right now I've got the same party that sort of fell into my lap when I was just talking to everyone near the beginning of the game. Julian, Monica, Sarah, Poet, and the girl whose name seems to change everytime you pick her up again are my main people so far. (I never really use whomever the sixth person might be; at least not yet) I'm open to dumping somebody if you'd recommend it. Some of the new people I'm bumping into are starting with stats around my level, which is nice.

Speaking of which, should I help Undine or is it more worth it to take that Devil King shield for myself? I've got two save states where I completed each path and I'm not sure which I should continue with now.

Thanks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
