If you find that your attacks aren't powerful at all, get something that does blunt damage. My sword skill was all the way up and I had a shard sword (75 attack points) and I changed it to a flanged mace (like 55 attack points) but I had no blunt skill points except for 1...my shard sword only did like 40-75 damage and my mace did 110-140.

....for a small break and a few laughs go to the credits screen ... from your main menu when the credits begin to roll press the x button and a secret movie will begin to play.....
Watch and enjoy it is a good break from the game :)

When your in the encounter area (battle) and someone is dead or dying from status and you have no items or low AP, the easiest way to cure these symptoms is to RUN to the nearest yellow line if you can and go to the world map and EVERYTHING will cured.
