First of all I'd like to thank Emmy for the awesome mod, and by that I mean in the literal sense: it inspires awe. I cannot begin to imagine the amount of time, dedication, expertise, diligence, patience, and technical wizardry involving in such a project, but all the same, I am glad for it. You brought my dream of a monster party to life.
The reason why I write is because I'm getting my ass handed to me repeatedly on Grog Hill (ironically, one of the easiest fights in vanilla). There are so many enemies and so many rezzers that I can't seem to deal with them all. And thanks to the dragons' reflect, I can't just blast them all into smithereens with Black Magic (one of many attempted tactics). Honestly, I think this may be the toughest fight so far in the mod. I suspect Emmy will find this surprising. What is the strategy for dealing with vastly superior numbers?
What I'm hoping for here is a suggested party setup, including jobs and equips for Ramza. (I feel like Agrias is a crutch, but I'll use her as well if I have to). Ramza is level 26 at this point, if that makes any difference. (He's been doing well so far as a Dragoon with Item Secondary.) Any recommendations that will lead to victory are welcome (I'm trying to avoid blatant cheating).
Thanks.

Thank you for your kind words. .gif)
I'll write a full analysis when I wake up, for now i have to zzzzz.
(it's past 2am where I live right now) It is a much tougher battle if you're attempting a Ramza + 4 monsters challenge, but still not impossible.

Hi Emmy:
No analysis needed; shortly after I posted this question, I was redetermined to win and gave it another shot. I went in with a Time Bomb and just beat the ever-loving crap out of everything with Bull/Goblin. The Petrify status came in handy here, which I hadn't previously attempted (not on this map, at least). One of my favorite things to do in vanilla was turn everything into stone..gif)
Looks like I'm going to be sticking with Agrias for a while. She's deadly with Magic. Short Charge FTW!

No worries.
And yeah, since the Chocobo is the only thing on that map with Remedy, Petrifying it (and then anything else there) will effectively remove it from battle. Status effects in general are more useful in this mod than they were in vanilla. Even major bosses are affected by something, as you've probably seen before in earlier battles.
If you have any other questions, feel free to find me in chat or post here.
