Strategy for Ozma:
My party of choice was Zidane (76lvl), Freya(49Lvl), Eiko(61lvl) and Steiner(58lvl). Notice that none of them are subject to Level 5 death. The party members should have the following:
Zidane: Master Thief
Eiko: Phoenix with as many Phoenix Pinions as you can get (call it 'insurance')
Freya: Dragon Crest maxed out at 9999 (this is easy if you fight the grand dragons!)
Steiner: Shock (9999)
Also, ensure your characters are near trance. Particularly Eiko and Zidane. You don't need the fairy blessing. The attacks you'll be using will not be physical. Equip Auto-Regen on all of your characters. Do not equip 'auto-potion' as it wastes time and gives Ozma extra oppurtunities to attack.
The goal here is 'keep Freya and Steiner alive and attacking! This is what your characters should be doing:
Zidane: First round, steal. Hope for the 'Dark Matter'. If not, have Zidane toss the Dark Matter you have. After that, use Zidane to help Eiko keep Freya and Steiner alive and well. If Zindane trances, you might want to use him to attack. Solution 9 works wonderfully.
Eiko: Hold Eiko's action until Ozma acts. When Ozma attacks, heal, life, or Esuna the person required. When Eiko trances, you'll be able to heal / esuna / life faster. If more than one person dies, you might want to use 2 'full life' spells... alternately, you can use Phoenix to bring them back. Eiko is there to heal you and keep Freya and Steiner attacking. If no one needs healing and you're confident that Ozma's not about to do something painfully deadly, have Eiko Haste either Steiner or Freya. This should be done only when she's Tranced though, just in case you need to heal quickly.
Freya: Dragon Crest! Always. Hold your attack if she's mini'ed. If not, beat Ozma in his head!
Steiner: Shock! Always. As above.
Beat Ozma tips:
A good way to beat Ozma (with relative ease) is to do the following: We had Zidane, Steiner, Dagger and Quinna in the party, all at around level 80 (although Zidane at 90 as when your levelling up you can't swap him!).
We had Quinna use Magic Hammer every single time. It takes off a huge chunk of MP to start with, then gets less as Ozma's magic gets less. We had Zidane almost at trance so he trances after the first hit off Ozma, and perform his Grand Dyne Lethal, which takes off 9999, Steiner doing Shock which takes off 9999, and Dagger summoning Bahamut, in between healing.
If Ozma's attacks Flare Star and Metoer seem to be the worst, and Doomsday hardly did anything at that level. After a few rounds with Magic Hammer, Ozma starts performing Osmose to steal MP, which he then uses to cure himself. Keep hitting and healing after that using Quinna's Frog drop which at level 80 and 130 frogs equals 9999 damage, and Ozma is virtually paralized for the rest of the fight apart from healing himself. Then watch him fry! It took about 5 minutes but was well worth it. Also after stealing most of Ozma's magic and if Zidane and Steiner have used up most of their MP on Shock and Grand Lethal Dyne, and Dagger summoning Bahamut, there's not much he can steal from you, so he's pretty much had it!
If you beat him, you get the pumice which you can later get from Hades to enable Dagger to summon tha ark. After beating Ozma, and finding Hades he is then shocked you have defeated Ozma and fights you anyway, but he doesn't perform anything for the first few rounds, and then starts to count down to charging up his sword. In this time you could can get a round in of each person before the next number down (from 3-1). If you use Zidane's theivery (takes off about 6000), Steiners Shock (9999), Dagger's Ark (9000), and Quinna's Frog Drop (9999), you can kill Hades before he gets chance to use his sword on you. Easy!
It pays to be at level 80. You don't really need to be at any more than that, but it makes for quicker battles! and you get some good stuff at the end of it.
None of this would have been as easy if the chocobo hot and cold, stellazio, and freindly ghosts side quests hadn't been completed. They don't take long, and you can have fun, knowing you've not just played the main game, but all the mini games too.
Dead pepper:
You can also get them from the chocobo seated to the left of Fat Chocobo at Chocobo's Air Garden who will give you 99 Dead Peppers.
Doomsday:
When vivi has doomsday and nobody in the party can prevent or absorb it have steiner cast doomsday sword and it will only hit(attack) the enemy. also if the enemy casts reflect on itself have steiner cast a magic sword and it will go through the reflect. and Steiner must have auto-regen on and when he uses darkside he will take about 500 or so damage from him but since he has auto- regen he will get that amout of health back.
How to make money by combining weapons:
Buy as many "Wrist" as possible at the village of Dali, and buy "Steepled Hat" in Mog Shop at Burmecia.Go to synthesis shop and make "Cotton robe." If you sell cotton robes at the weapon shop, you can make 610 gil a cotton robe. Wrist (130 gil) + Steepled Hat (260 gil) + mixing fee (1000 gil) -- you can get a Cotton robe. You can sell a Cotton robe by 2000 gil, so you can make money 610 gil by making one cotton robe.If you make up 99 Cotton robes, you can make money 60390 gil! In this way,you can get 180.000 gil in just 30 minutes!
Other Floor at Daguerreo:

Cure your party with one cure:
If your party is weak,have Dagger or Eiko in your party and go to the menu and go to abilities. Go to Dagger's or Eiko's screen and you will be able to use cure,cura or curaga. When you press X on it, you will go to a new screen that will have the party's faces on it. So you press right and you will see that the hand will be on all of your characters. Then, you press X until your party HP is at max. By doing this, you won't waste that much MP when curing a member by him/her-self.
