Easy Gil
Go to the Town Of The Ancients and talk to the child two stories up the grass hills. He is back behind the stairs. He will tell you that he will give you a prize if you ride around the continent. Leave town and go east a bit. Get a Chocobo and ride around the outside of the continent. Go back and talk to the child for your rewards. Sell them, then repeat.
Spells Replaced by Items
You can use certain items instead of spells if you run out of MP. For example, if your Black Mage wants to use Fire but is out of MP, go to the item screen and use the item Fire Staff. This seems to only work if your character is able to equip the item that is being used. Also, not all items work. Items that work include the Ice Staff, Fire Staff, Light Staff, and Salamd Sword.
Free Mini-spell for Party
After you get dropped out of the dragon's nest, go to the area with the spring and the gnome. Talk to him and he will give you a Mini. However, you can talk to him again and get one for all of your party members.
Glitch: Item Duplication
This trick works on any item you can use in battle, such as Elixirs or Phoenix Downs. Enter the item menu outside of battle. Move the item you to be duplicated to the first slot. In battle, choose the item menu. Press [Up] + [A]. If done correctly, you should see a flash of the equipment screen before seeing the main menu again. Press B to cancel. The item is now duplicated. You can repeat this as many times as necessary, but be careful not to get more than 99 of an item as it may glitch your game or saved game file. Note: Items can be in either the top left or top right hand corner to be duplicated.
Unlimited Gil
Choose a high-priced item to sell then use the "Item duplication" glitch. Sell all of them except one. Then do it repeatedly for plenty of gil.
