Wow I like how my most useless characters instantly became my best. All these sidequests are buffing up my characters. I never believed that: Relm + Control, Shadow + GG + MS + Kagenui + Ichigeki, Setzer + Death Tarot, Locke + Wing Edge + Valiant Knife are making for my monster killing team. There are obviously better combinations, but I like the ability to instantly dispatch with a high probability for free. Not even Brachiosaurs stand a chance since Relm can just Control them the whole battle.
There's not much more other than learning all the spells and getting Gilgamesh and Leviathan before I enter Kefka's Tower (yay for Fixed Dice and Crusader!). It will be the first time I ever attempt the tower through my own efforts (yes, I never did so even on the SNES version

), so I hope it won't be too scary. All this equipment is nifty but I have to make sure I'm prepped at a mere level 35 for everyone else.
More: I'm also liking how I can just slap a Gladius on Relm.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
