Message: <blockquote data-quote="StreamOfTheSky" data-source="post: 5705385" data-attributes="member: 35909">Also, I highly suggest getting 2-3 folks to completely master every freaking thing in the Thief class to be your designated thieves (again, can be used as 2ndary) when needed.  There are so so many awesome items you can steal in this game, many of them that's the only way to obtain them at all.  In general, I know I mentioned my final party above, but before then I basically always had 1-2 people that could steal in every fight.In particular, there is one battle about halfway through the game.  I don't want to spoil who it's against or anything, so I'll stick to vague details.  The guy has an entire item set (as in, every piece of geat he's wearing is named the same and of awesome power), and this fight is your ONLY chance to obtain it, ever.  Problem is, even with maxed out thieves, the steal %'s are low, he can unerringly teleport all over the map, leading to fun chases at times, and the fight itself is pretty hard even if you're not wasting countless turns trying to mug him.  Having some thieves ready to go for when that battle comes will be well worth it.  My friend went in to the fight unaware of the treasures to be had and no lie...spent FOUR HOURS struggling through to get everything.  When I played, I was aware of his experience and went in prepared w/ 3 people with maxed out thievery equipped.  I robbed him blind and finished the battle in less than 40 minutes.  And it wouldve been half that long if I didn't waste so much time trying to get a secret thingy for Ramza that another enemy in that fight can provide, that I won't spoil for you, other than to say I gave up eventually because you CAN get it later.But theft is extremely useful throughout the game in general, so no matter what, it's in your interest to get some thief training under way.</blockquote>
