Currently I'm in Prima with just Gobi, in what I remember to be much harder than it actually is. I've returned the goods from Gant and must now get Ryu and the rest of my party together.
I'm wondering, can anybody give me an estimate of how far I am in the game?
The game is stupidly hard when you're just Gobi. If you wander around outside the town you'll get owned pretty bad. Things are fine once the other party members join, which happens really quickly from what I recall.
Hard to say how far you are... there's no in-game timer from what I recall... Maybe half-way?
Cool, sounds good. Gobi was difficult at first, but I found some easy tricks to do: first, carry a shield he can equip to help his lackluster defense, and as soon as you make it to Prima, upgrade his gear to the best equipment available: HornHT, IcySH, SpineCL, and the Javelin. That will seriously help him survive. Then buy a stack of herbs and wander around outside the city using EbbX to do heavy damage and the E.Key. Gobi's a pretty bland character, so even with the Javelin, the E.Key does better damage. Plus it does about as much damage as his Ebb spell is but costs him no AP. Wander around using the Herbs to heal whenever Gobi needs to and then go back into town and sleep at the 200 gold inn to restore AP. He starts at level 15, so get him to 16 and he gets his Echo spell, which is slightly more costly but will kill some of the enemies around Prima in one hit. Get him to 17, and he gets EchoX, which should easily take out everything there. Plus at 17 his health should finally be in triple digits.
If the Javelin doesn't float your boat for a weapon for him, in Gant you can buy the HeroSp, which should boost his attack over 100 or so. From there, it's actually pretty easy to use him, and the amount of experience he gets for being alone helps to boost him relatively quickly.
