This is the first time that you get to see the map that you spend the rest of the game on. This is the first time the bar is available.
Strategy:
Total Team Change Plan:
Sell any items you won't need for now, including Holy Water, Ether, Hi-Ether, Hi-Potion, and X-Potion since they won't be used for a long time. I sold the dagger too.
De-equip the clothes, hats, and weapons from the 6 non-guest team members that you start out with (Slots 2-7). Then sell the clothes and hats.
Get your money up to 5800 gil at least.
You can't change the names, zodiac signs, or the faith/brave levels (until you get a mediator way later in the game).
The solution to this is to remove all 6 of them, go to the Soldier Office, and start with 4 new ones with higher Brave/Faith levels, more compatible Zodiac signs, and names of your choice.
Faith/Brave levels should be around 60 or higher. The Zodiac signs mean a great deal with regards to if a spell is successful or not, and also how much damage or healing occurs. There are charts for this. I tried to find Zodiac signs that were compatible with Ramza.
Since Ramza is a Virgo, I chose:
Slot 2: Male, Capricorn, 60 Brave, 59 Faith (Sebastian)
Slot 3: Male, Scorpio, 63 Brave, 60 Faith (William)
Eventually replaced by Orlandu (Also Male, Scorpio).
Slot 4: Female, Taurus, 61 Brave, 62 Faith (Elizabeth)
Eventually replaced by Beowulf (Male, Libra).
Slot 5: Female, Pisces, 62 Brave, 62 Faith
Eventually replaced by Agrias (Female, Cancer).
I made two of them Chemists in order to start them on that job ladder for now. I then added abilities such as Potion, Phoenix down if possible, and some squire abilities.
Make sure to add second abilities to the characters (Item, etc.)
I turned off "Max Equip at Job Change" in the Option menu on the Map Screen because I just equip manually.
And your new team is off and running.
When you try to leave Magic City Gariland on the map, you will get caught with a scene.
