I have learned that resumes are for idiots, as one can change their job at a whim. However, sometimes you are weaker for doing so, and staying with a job for extended periods of time doesn't net you a good retirement plan, but, rather, an awesome spear. Also, rather than giving someone a 2-week's notice, you can just become skantily clad and quickly change your outfit. HOWEVER, you must ensure that you are wearing the correct dress for your job, be the correct sex for the job, and be the correct body type for the job. If not, you can just change that anyways.
I have also learned that in-game mechanics will never apply to the game. You can kill a person in battle and bring them back to life, but you can NEVER bring someone back to life if they were killed in a cutscene. That would be crazy. I'm looking at yOOOOOOOOOOOu, Aries!
Also remember that the taller, spikey-er and more gravity defying one's hair is, the more godly and infinetly powerful that he is. People with bland hair or no hair are usually useless. But, should your hair be a random color that is only found in the 1,000,000+ collection of crayons, then you are strong and are capable of killing gods. Also, if it took about five hours to correctly gel or style your hair, you are cool.
Plus, one's gender is never obvious. Should the person in question be a woman, they must be at least 90% naked before you can truely say that it is a she. And, even at that, you cannot be sure. I don't even think that the game designers really knew, that's why no one in the story uses a sex-oriented pronoun, like "He" or "Her."
Another interesting feature is that all major characters must either be an amnesiac, be an orphan, have a very dramatic past, be a relative of a villian, have had their home been destroyed, be 90% naked, have magical powers that differ from everyone else's magical powers, be of indeterminable gender, brandish a weapon that has absolutely no real strength or usefulness, yet deals 9,999 damage, and/or die/betray you at one point or another...any RPG character that is not an NPC. Being an amnesiac and having another one of these traits will make you the best hero ever.
In a battle, it is only polite that you take turns in whailing on your foe with axes or blades. It would be rude to just run in and attack, you have to be fast enough to do that. And your real-time battle meter thing whose name elludes me must be full. And all you really have to do is wave your weapon about and people will take damage.
And, out of all people you will meet, you must remember this simple rule; never be swayed by the tales of a spoony bard.
... Or that status inflicting spells suck.
