Last Remnant Question

Anyone know a good tip or even cheats that can help me out with The Last Remnant?? I keep dying way too fast and its still early in the game. The enemies keep flanking me and totally destroying everyone in my group. Any Help would be appreciated

order your team to stay put and let the enemies come to you instead. Once they moved forward, you can flank them. I really don't have any other tips, the battle mechanics in this games seems a little broken to me.

i never had any problems with battles except for a fw bosses who are quite hard, just remake your groups to make them balanced (warrior group, mage group, each with a healer and an item user) and do all the side quests possible since they normally give you the most pwoerful characters who give your groups great status boosts and formations which also gives bonuses. Use this guide to know when you can do side quests since they are missable and get the optional chars:
