Battle[]

Ghouls are infamous for being the first enemy players encounter capable of inflicting Paralysis with their standard attack, and have a tendency to paralyze the party's frontliners. It is a good idea to save casts of Fire on the party's Black Mage and to not be afraid to bust out Dia on the White Mage.
