FFIV Help Thread

[Leon]

I know it's not exactly the first FFIV, but I need some help in the After Years (couldn't find a better place to post this). I've been stuck at the Gathering Tale, and every Eidolon (besides Shiva) seems too tough to defeat. The only one I came close to defeating was Ifrit (he started attacking twice in the same turn on my surviving party member, which is how I know). I tried Inferno, which is really not that great. I try to cast Ice spells when he starts preparing Hellfire, but he usually beats me to it. Blizzaga helps tons, but takes too long to cast. I'd try grinding, but it would take days before Rydia learns Blizzaga. It just takes too long to level up.

Any suggestions, or do I just keep grinding and hope for the best? :/

What level is your party? The only thing you can do there is to level grind and to learn the right way for you to defeat them in order to get them back.
