Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

Similar to the Pravoka enemy area in the first game, FF2 has a place where high-level monsters roam near a town early in the game, resulting in massive death (and XP gain).

From the game's starting point in Altair, head directly South (down) until you hit the very end of the peninsula. The end of the peninsula is 1x3 squares, and by walking on the peninsula, one will encounter very powerful enemies early on in the game.

Some of the monsters encountered on FFII's point of peril:

Black Flan
Red Mousse
Killer Mantis
Behemoth (VERY rare)
Cockatrice
Adamantoise

Please note that you should not take on these enemies until everyone in your party has at least 300 HP, and until one member of your party has got their Fire, Ice, and Thunder spells to at least level 4.

Fighting these enemies this early on in the game is an excellent way to earn gil (each battle typically yields around 700-1500 gil) or to bring up your party's stats (though brining up your party's stats might be tough if you can't survive one hit). Some handy spells to have while fighting these enemies are Protect, Shell, Blink, and Berserk when you have more powerful weapons, and of course the three basic elementals.

While on the ship, hold down A and keep tapping B. Soon, a sliding tile minigame will appear. The aim of the game is to put the numbered tiles in order from 1 to 15. If you do well, you gain items and money.

In the Water shrine, go in it and find the area with all the dancers. Talk to alot of them and you should hear some say something about the Tatarus theater and the "I want to be your canary" play which is all Zidanes theater group in FF9!

In Final Fantasy II, there is no way to really "level up". Instead, there is a realistic stat system that makes you stronger in certain areas based on how you fight. There is an easy way to manipulate magic and weapon levels in this game.

When you enter a battle, select the spell (or, if you wish to strengthen your weapon proficiency, select attack) you wish to level up and confirm your target(s). When your next character comes up, press B to go back to the person you are working with. Continue this as long as you wish to easily gain a level with your magic and/or weapons. Note that you can only level up each spell and weapon skill one time in every battle.

In Final Fantasy I when you visit Elfheim, press A on the left most tombstone behind the inn. It will say "Here lies Link." Link being the famous elf star of the Legend of Zelda series.

In Hellfire Chasm, on the floor that has lots of NPC's blocking your path, one of them tells you, "This is private property. Trespassers will be burninated!"

Not really anything special, a reference to Kingdom Hearts. On the 27th Floor of the Whisperwind Cove is a boy in "toy Town" (the place with all the houses, in and out) The character with blonde hair says, "I've Been having these weird thoughts lately..". Just like the Intro to Kingdom Hearts.

Press B + Select on the map screen to view the World Map. This shows your position and locations.

Beat the game once and wait until it tells you to save after the credits.

This 2x2 piece of land is Northeast of the town of Pravoka. From Pravoka, head South to the mountains, then East until you see a dock, then from there, head North. The monsters you can find is a whole lot stronger then ordinary monsters around. Other then leveling up skills quickly, the equipments the monsters drop is the best you can get for quite a while; Winter Wolf drops the Ice Shield! Minotaur Zombie drops the Great Axe.
