Anybody that has played SO: TET

Star Ocean 3, Till the End of Time, if you didn't understand.

I'm having difficulty with this game, lost my mem card with all my good data, so I had to start over. So if anybody's played it, what do you recommend for which characters to use? Also, I heard something about Cancel Bonuses, and I was wondering if that was active in Earth Mode. I have no intent on going further than Earth Mode, seeing as a gamer, I kind of suck.

Well, it's been a while since I played this game so I'm not sure I could remember much about it.

The first time I played it (and got the separate ending), I played with Fayt, Cliff, and Nel.

The second time, (I got Maria ending), I tried using Fayt, Cliff, and Maria.

Though, I need to say, I'm pretty sucks at playing this one particular game >_<

Yeah this game certainly is no cakewalk, but I havent played it in a while so i can't help you on cancel bounes or anything like that, hell i'm up to the part where Nel left my group to go chase down her friends on that 17th century earth equivalent planet.

This game is pathetic till you're about to fight Luther, everything jumps up a few levels, and it's difficult to grind anywhere. I usually hang around Firewall till I'm strong enough to move onto MoT and then just grind the hell out of Sphere 211. And then cheat.
