Couldn't do that New Game + thing I mentioned before. You have to beat the game once first.

I decided to skip the bosses I was having trouble with (the one that brings your HP and MP to 1, as well as the Ronso battle). I can take care of them in a new game + if I wish.
So I went to Kilika Temple and defeated another Aeon there. Then, from what I remember, I had to go to a third temple. I believe it was Djose Temple. The Aeon boss there was lightning based, so I used Waterga on him along with Yuna's Liquid Steel attack. Then there was an interesting story sequence, and I believe I did everything right to get the good ending later on. I had to do it twice to get it right though, and its nothing that seems at all logical... or even possible to do correctly without knowing in advance.

Anyway, this started Chapter 4, which involved a concert in the Thunder Plains. But there was a big boss to beat first. So I used two Samurai and a white mage to beat it. At first, I thought I was way underpowered, but it wasn't so bad. The concert itself looked really annoying at first, but it had an interesting twist that made it more interesting later on. And aside from some optional dialogue scenes, that was pretty much it for Chapter 4.

So I'm now on Chapter 5, the final part of the game. I have access to the final dungeon, but there's a lot of optional areas to play through, too. And I probably need to go up about 20 levels to finish the game, not to mention learning new abilities. I was able to get the Dark Knight job class which I thought I missed permanently, and that was nice. But I'm pretty annoyed about how much I've used a guide so far. I think I still missed at least two jobs, but at least learned abilities will carry over to the next playthrough.
