BONUS CAVE:
For those wondering how to get to the Miracle Armor and Exalibur (sword), they're in the bonus cave. Use the Truth Stone in the hidden woods, then jump into the hole. You'll see stairs.
The bonus cave is small. Once inside, go east over the bridge and north over the next bridge. Now go east until you get to the single gold square jutting out from the rest. There are several hidden holes that take you out of the cave and lost woods. The hidden path to reach the platform with the treasures is: E-N-E-E-S-S-E-E-N-E and then east to the treasure chests.
Note that only a Warrior can use Exalibur. Also note that a Magic Swordsman can't use any of the Hero or Miracle equipment; the best is Diamond equipment.
The ideal party for the bonus cave would probably be (in the order given) Warrior, Samurai, Samurai, and Sage or Warrior, Ninja, Samurai and Monk.
Also: some monsters in this cave drop rings. I've gotten a Safeguard Ring so far. This is one of the best rings in the game.

TIPS for the early and mid game. These are my recommendations, not the last word in how to play.
You'll level quickly if you make your party Samurai Samurai, Samurai, Ninja. Note that the Ninja should go at the BACK of the party (Tate). There's a reason for this; Tate will be changing to a Sage at level 36, and you'll want Tate in back then. I had no problems playing the game up to the Dragons (about level 40) with this party, using herbs to heal.
Much of this game is grinding/leveling. The best strategy early on is to stay near the town/castle/city you're in until your characters the best equipment offered there. This will give you enough stats to advance on.
Once you get to Port Town and get your ship, you'll be looking for your equipment at certain places. You would do well to visit all of these: Howard Castle, Calandora Town, Village of Solitude, Louis Town, and Raiton Castle. The best equipment before Moris isn't all at the same place. Check around.

The best place to farm gold up to at least level 40 is the cave south of Malcus. The enemies aren't hard to beat at level 20 or so, and you'll get a lot of gold and decent experience.
Tips for the mid game:
At level 33 or 34, you should head for the islands just above Howard Castle (the starting point of the game). Use Scented Charms; this will bring about battles that all include a Silver Bell. Defeating the Silver Bell gets you 5500 experience. At level 33, you have a reasonable chance of defeating these on a somewhat regular basis. Be sure to save about 20,000 gold for the soon-to-be job change and equipment
At level 36, head back to Howard and change Tate's job to Sage. Go to the various cities to find the best equipment. Then head back to the islands above Howard Castle and use the "Amor" magic to continue fighting Silver Bells. You should do this until at least level 40.
After that, you can head out to Moris Town and do the three dragons scattered throughout the world.

(An alternate idea is to start with Ninja Samurai Samurai Samurai and then change Tate's job to Monk at level 36. An advanced possibility is to start with Samurai, Ninja Samurai Samurai, and change Tate's job to Monk at level 36. That way you can change Seig's job to Warrior for the bonus cave so that Excalibur can be equipped).
TIPS FOR THE BOSSES:
The bosses (the Dragons, Incubus, and the bonus cave boss) all use strong magic breath hit-all-members attacks. It's vital that your sage/monk keeps Blessing Barrier up, and it's a good idea to have Curtain in effect.
One strategy idea for these battles is to have your three fighters use Defend the first two rounds awhile the Sage/Monk uses Blessing and then Curtain.
If the Sage/Monk has a free round, High Tension will strengthen a fighter's attack.
If a fighter is low on HP, you might want that one to use Defend until the Sage can heal.
It's also a good idea to have a Miracle Leaf on hand for each of your fighters so that they can revive the Sage/Monk if needed. The Sage should carry an Elixir or two to restore MP when necessary.

Thanks Tom for all your tips. Just for the record I had a party of Warrior, Ninja, Monk, Magician and I only remember twice where I spent time leveling up before I could progress in the game. I used that party the whole way through.

I'm really hoping that someone actually follows through in making a proper guide for this game. As fun as this series is, the message board setup can be pretty tedious sometimes. Thanks though for everyone who has posted help here.

But why do you need a walkthrough? It's not like the game is hard to figure out. A few items might be hard to find, but then a quick search (too easy in my opinion) lets you find anything you need. It makes the game too easy. That being said, I made a speadsheet keeping track of some stat stuff, like what weapons/armor is sold where, magic learned, stuff like that. But isn't that normal anytime you play an RPG? :)

@ Calyx
Nearly finished with my guide, will be posting the link sometime this week.
That said, I do prefer to figure things out myself when I play a RPG :-)

Btw, does anyone know where the black gem is found? I picked it up somewhere in my 2nd play through but forgot to write it down :-( I don't want my guide to be incomplete.

I didn't write it down either, sorry.
