i never beat the 1st mission its kinda fail (battle system Dx)
I find the battle system easier to cooperate with if you go into the menu, then the game settings, and disable the little line thingies. They pretty much make me want to strangle something. Gambits also make Battle much easier in the long run. For the basics, if your just starting the game, I'd recommend you set your gambits to Foe: Closest in range, and whatever the lowest HP gambit you have to potion or cure if you have it. As the characters evolve you can use the gambit system to customize them. It's sort of like jobs.
For example: My current party is Basch, Balthier, and Penelo. Basch is just a tank, so I set all of his Gambits to attacks and stuff. Baltheir is basically my black mage, but he also is very strong, so I have him casting Black, and Green Magicks whilst also attacking. Last but deffinitly not least Penelo is my white mage. She is quite strong, so I make her the leader, and then when HP starts to sink I have her with a long range weapon in the back healing.
I also find it easier to manage if you get a guide. I'd recommend any guide from Brady games. I have their guides for VII and XII, and they are very good quality with lots of hints.
If you need any more help feel free to message me!
