When you reach the assault on the Estheim house do the following trick to get easy CP. Instead of taking the red circle out of the room run around the circular hallway. The soldiers that you will encounter are easy to defeat and you can gain anywhere from 120 to 200 CP per battle along with an incentive chip which you can later sell if desired. The easiest way to perform this trick is to attack the soldiers at the window instead of turning around and going straight for the soldiers that are behind you. Keep going around the hall attacking and by the time you make it back the soldiers at the window which you killed will have respawned.
It is possible to gain 6,600 CP in about 2 minutes performing the following trick. At Gran Pulse there are two Behemoth-like enemies fighting each other and when you approach them a preemptive attack will always happen. Use the following Optima set-up: Attacker/Enhancer/Enhancer, wait until you get Haste and Fire elemental offense and then switch to Attacker/Blaster/Blaster. Killing the purple creature first will make the white one easier to defeat. If you return near the save point they will respawn allowing you to repeat the process.
At Gran Pulse (Disc 3) you will be told to go to Vanille's village. Before you reach this location you must go through a tower called Taejin Tower. Follow the steps below to get past it and collect easy CP.
1. Defeat the Boss at the apex of Taejin Tower.
2. Take the elevator down to level four, and then the other elevator (the first room on the left when exiting the elevator) up to level 5.
3. You will see a mission statue directly in front of the elevator (mission 24)
4. Select the statue and re-accept the mission. The target will spawn in the same room.
5. Kill the group of three that spawns and get 6,000 CP and an item that sells for 6,000 Gil.
6. Go back to the statue, re-accept the mission again and complete it. Repeat the steps as desired.
You can either be find these or make them. Below is one of the methods to make them using a Tetradic Tiara. Follow the steps in the exact order. This method works best if you have the accessory that makes you more likely to get a drop after a battle and that it is has been upgraded to the top tier.
1.Buy Four Iron-Bangles (500 Gil each)
2.Make sure there are no Tetradic Tiaras in your inventory.
3.Repeatedly do mission 7 (Disc 3, Gran Pulse) until you get the rare drop of a Tetradic Tiara.
4.Save the game.
5.Break down all four Iron-Bangles.
6.Upgrade Tetradic Tiara level 1 to Tetradic Tiara ? (only one level till star).
7.Break down Tetra Tiara ?
8.Repeat the steps as desired.
If the steps have been followed correctly you should have one raw material that sells for 12,500 Gil, three Talisman and one pair of Sprint Shoes. It is also possible to do the same process if you get the drop of Tetradic Crown instead of the Tiara but instead of breaking down four Iron-Bangles only break down three and instead of getting the Sprint Shoes you'll get another item called Herme's Shoes. If you then upgrade them one level to the star level and then upgrade them using the correct crystal/stone/etc., they will turn into the Sprint Shoes. Alternately, take the Tetradic Crown, upgrade it to star level and then using the correct stone/crystal (Mnir Stone or something similar) you can turn it into Tetradic Tiara and then perform the process above.
If you turn the Left analog-stick quickly on the field screen the character that you are controlling will perform a secret animation.
To do this press 'Menu' just as the cinematic before a Boss battle ends. If you have timed it correctly a menu screen will appear which will allow you to reconfigure paradigms, weapons, etc.
Use the following equation to understand how much experience you will need to spend to get any weapon capped at it's current level.
N = Increase your weapon will grow after every level obtain. For example at level 1-2 you need 1,000 experience. From level 2-3 you need 1,125 exp. N = 1125 minus 1000, which in this case is 125. So n for this weapon would equal 125.
X = The total number of levels you will need to cap (Star) your weapon. For example, from 1 to 21 (Star) for Tier 1 weapons requires 20 levels (21-1=20).
B = The base experience that your weapon has. For example, Axis Blade at level one needs 1,000 experience to reach level 2. 1,000 is the base experience.
The equation is as follows to determine how much experience it will cost to cap your weapon. (xn-n)(x/2)+bx = Total experience to cap a weapon.
The easiest way to work it out is x times n minus n. Multiply that value by x divided by 2 and then add b times x.
If you quickly move the analog-stick Left and Right repeatedly when you are not in a battle your Character will become angry or tired.

With these tips, you will be able to handle pretty much any battle. These tips mostly pertain to random encounters, not bosses..."mostly".
1. Quickly Stagger enemies
Use the "Aggression" Paradigm until the target's chain gauge gets to about 30% filled. Once there, switch to the "Relentless Assault" Paradigm. The Ravager's will then significantly boost the chain gauge. Keep using this Paradigm until the target dies.
2. If you ever get low on health
If you ever get low on health (this means anyone in your party), switch to the Paradigm "Protection", "Diversity", "Combat Clinic", or "Hero's Charge". Afterwards, continue what you were doing.
3. Ultimate Chain Bonuses
To get a great chain combination (this also works for Eidolon battles that require you to get a bunch of chain bonuses), have the paradigm "Relentless Assault" become active. Select the actions you want to preform and wait for your allies to start attacking. Attack once your allies do and the target's chain gauge should go up a lot. It also helps if you have Hope as your leader as well. Have Hope use the "Quake" technique when your allies begin their attack. This will further extend the chain bonus.
4. Speed up the battle
When fighting multiple enemies, make sure you concentrate on getting rid of the small-fry first, then you can take on the big guys...if any. It also helps a lot if you have a Synergist that knows Haste... Such as Sazh.
5. Multi-Battles
When you have a bunch of other enemies attacking another enemy, attack the ones that are doing most of the attacking. You can also just wait for the offenders to take out the other enemy.

With this cheat, I am going to tell you how to quickly repeat your previously used Ability combinations. First off, you have to be in a battle. Select "Abilities" and select a combo that you want to use. Next, after your bar fills back up, you should see an arrow next to "Abilities". Now, hold the left button on the D-Pad(Directional Pad) and it will say "Repeat". Hit A then select the Target you want to attack. Thats all there is to it.
