This isn't quite my first time, but I'm trying to pick up 7th Dragon again.

Last time, I got completely stuck―just about everything ended up attacking my squishy mage and healer in the back row and one-/two-hit KO'ing them―and ended up dropping it early on.

How much level grinding am I supposed to do in this game, what strategies should I use, and what kind of party/parties should I go with if I don't want to die?

Just about to purchase a Rune Factory game. I can't afford a 3DS at the moment, and I can only afford to buy one.

Which one should I get if I'm just starting out, and what should I know before I play it?

I've just started up Dragon Quest IX and have just gotten to the bar where you can choose your party, but I have almost zero experience with the combat, class, or skill system for this series. I don't want to build myself into a corner in the postgame, so I'm looking for gameplay tips as well as suggestions for party builds, especially anything with the potential to break the game open.

I've decided to finally start playing Final Fantasy VII for the PS1, and I'd like the experience to be as painless as possible. What are some pitfalls I should watch out for, and how do I best break the game?

I'm considering playing Etrian Odyssey IV but am not looking forward to the Atlus grinding. What are some bullshit cheese strats I can use to breeze through the game?

I'm also thinking of jumping right in with a challenge hack of Pokemon X, but I haven't played any games in the series for a long time. What would an offense-focused competitive Gen 6 team look like? I know that speed is very important in 4 and that weather is king in 5, but I know nothing about 6.

I'm on the first chapter of 7th Dragon 2020-II with an Idol/Trickster/Destroyer party, but I'm unsure how viable this would be later on in the game, as the Trickster and Destroyer seem to overlap with each other, potentially stretching my Idol thin performing support, magic attacking, and area-of-effect attacking roles.

Is this a party worth sticking with, or should I swap out the Destroyer for a Psychic for better healing and attack coverage? If it is, are the dagger Trickster's status infliction skills strong enough in this game to be worth spending skill points on, or should I go with guns for AoE attack coverage instead? Also, would it be worth investing in the Destroyer's counter skills? Even once I unlock recovery skills so that I don't need to rely on item healing, I'm concerned that I'd need to spend all of my Idol's turns healing up my Destroyer.
