When enemies are close, you can actually attack them depending on your character's attacking arc. Some are large while others are small but ranged. Go to the position that you would like to attack from. Hold R1 and aim the arc at the enemies. Move the arc left or right to aim properly until you get "targets" above the enemies you want to attack. Sometimes you must quit aiming and move slightly to aim properly. Some require very slight adjustments; turn very slowly.
Better aiming
To aim better without moving from your current position, when controlling your character, hold R1 during a battle. An arc will appear. The highlighted arc shows the range where you can attack. Aim at the enemy and attack.
Boxes
Whenever you see a box In the middle of a battle destroy it beause it may hold a rare item like a life ring.
Burst blade
When you fight darkam and his gaurds kill him first and you will get an item called burst blade which effectively doubles his standard attack range.
Chest behind dog in Milmarma
You will need to have a bone to give to the dog, Rover. It can be obtained by checking the two rocks behind the old man in the small land platform leading to the palace. You will not get any item. It is just charity work to help little Rover get a new owner.
Dealing more damage
Attacking the enemies from behind deals more damage than from up front. Use that angle of attack whenever possible.
Deikbeck impostors
Note: This can only be done as Kharg. When you encounter the impostors, they will ask if you believe that they are the real Deikbeck.

You can find the impostor in the middle left corner of the area behind a large metal wall. You will get a Shadow Talisman. The second impostor is located in Peisus library. Once you have obtained the Lamda Sutra and have gone out, go back to the library. Go into the place where you got the Lamba Sutra and meet the second impostor. Tell him that you do not believe him and he will give you a quiz. Answer ten questions correctly and you will get a Spirit Amulet. Answer at least one correctly and you will get a Neuro Charge (can be bought in a shop inside the Flying Fortress) for your airship. The ten answers to the questionnaire from the Diekbeck imposter in the Library are as follows:

Dog in Millimaru
To get Past The Dog you need to head towards the building with the fortune tellers and look in the rocks just past The Path Next to the old man and pick Up the bone then go to the dog and give it to him.
