get libra asap. When you finally get a chance, start leveling up at "Phon Coast." Relatively easy enemies (depending on your strengths/defense/level) they drop lots of rare loots and high EXP (400 - 1000EXP) per monster. I've been whoring this area for a good 3 hours now leveling up and buying new armor, weapons, and magicks.
learn how to use the gambit system as well. Your first priority should be Ally -> Cure
the game also gets better after a couple of hours. The game has a great plot...kinda just sucks you in.
