Accordingly, there is absolutely no shame in consulting GameFAQS when you are trying to get through this game. (I played through it recently on the GBA, but I was lucky to pick up a weathered copy of the original guide book at a thrift store...I don't think I could have made it through the game without it.)
There may not be any shame in it, but with these old RPGs, I like challenging myself to see what I can come away with on my own. While it may have shipped with a walkthrough on the Genesis, there was at least one entire country that played through the game without any help other than a map of Motavia (sans islands) and a spell/equipment chart. That's baffling to me; and I won't be subjecting myself to that kind of horror. Uzo broke me, anyway, and I did pull up a map once I got to floor 6 of the Climatrol. It was still a nightmare.
I can't seem to get away from this game, though. It's frustrating to the point of making me feel like tearing my hair out, but I keep coming back to it every chance I get. Maybe I like the abuse. I don't know.
I am slowing down now though, as the schoolwork is piling up.
