Secrets
Defeating Abadon easily
If you want to kill Abadon (Disk 3) with minimal fuss, use a phoenix down or elixer on it and it will die instantly. This works with other undead enemies and bosses as well.

Easy escape from battle
First off, you must have the ATB set to 'Wait'. During battle, access a menue window (Magic/Draw/Item/GF, etc) then hold down the run command (L2 & R2). The game disables enemies from attacking you since you're in 'Wait' mode, but continues to allow you to escape. This is a guaranteed escape from any escapable battle without taking damage while attempting to run.

Fast AP gain
When you first leave the garden, head northeast from the exit until you reach a beach. Run along the sand and you'll fight some monsters in the sand. Each time you win the battle you recieve 6 ap. Have your GFs learn boost, sum mag + 10, and 20%. After you beat Biggs and Wedge for the first time, you will face a robot. Use your GFs to deplete all of it's HP to recieve 50 AP.

Get Unlimited Free Potions
You can get free Potions in Timber. Get Rinoa or Quistis in the party, then go to the bridge where you saw the guards. Keep returning until a man appears. Talk to him, then talk to him a second time to receive a Potion. Leave the screen and return until he appears again and repeat. This is good for getting gil, or just to store up for a battle.
