all topics and one of them (I don't remember which one it was :) )
should open a path to a nearby island. There a red dot will appear :
the temple of Nerubeska (I%U1r"AA). It will not activate yet.
2.- Go to the trade city of Zargidos (EoxO_O-r1). Aerith will
appear and sell you a flower. I think the second choice is to buy it.
3.- Go to the industrial city of Gorg (-1cO_O'-o) with Mustadio
(.1"o) in your party. He and Basrodio (D1o) will
discover a ball-shaped machine.
4.- Go to the mining town of Gorurand (A1UO_O'%,). Enter the
bar and choose the sub-quest whose max number of days is 6. After
completing it, a new sub-quest with the same name but with a 2 by
it should appear, do this one also. Lastly, talk to the barman
and ask him about the last topic listed.
5.- Go to the royal capital Ruzaria (yYO%^>). After an event,
Beiouf (U ݝYO) will ask to join your party. Choose the second
option to allow him to do so.
6.- Go back to Gorurand. There will be a series of battles in snowy
terrain. At the end, you should protect the Holy Dragon and she
should join you. You will receive one Zodiac Stone.
7.- Go back to Gorg. Basrodio and Mustadio will activate the machine
and it will turn into a robot, which will join you. They will also
discover another strange-looking machine.
8.- Go back to Nerubeska. The red dot will activate and you will fight
against another robot. You will receive another Zodiac Stone and the
Holy Dragon will turn into the dragooner, Rerze.
9.- Go back to Gorg again and you will activate the strange machine with
the stone. Cloud will be summoned, but he will not be interested
in you and he will run away
10.-Go back to Zargidos and after an event, you will have to protect
Cloud (who is unarmed) from the gang of thugs that attacked Aerith.
After you win the combat, Cloud will join your party.
11.-Go to the active volcano of Berubenia (U%UE>3SyD_3) and keep
going back and forth until you are attacked. Get someone who is
equipped with the Item User's "Item Find" movement ability and have
him/her climb to the highest point in the screen, a rock needle.
There you should find the Materia Blade. Once Cloud equips it, he
will be able to use his innate special ability, "Limit".
IMPORTANT : It seems that some of these events (well, at least
step 10) won't happen until the main story has reached a certain
point (in that case, until Ramza fights his brother Daisdarg), so
if you are stuck there try advancing the plot some more.
Note that Cloud can join your party even just before the last
series of battles (and I suspect the whole process can be done at
the very end as well). If you do so, however, you should save your
game in a different slot every time you are allowed to save between
a series of battles, because one of these leads to the end and you
can't get out of it (and henceforth get Cloud).
Well, that's all. I think that you must keep Mustadio, and later
Beiouf and the Holy Dragon, alive and in your party while you are following
these steps. I don't know if you can get Cloud without some of these
characters (eg. if you don't allow Mustadio to join you, he theoretically
should be able to find the machines), as I haven't tried it.

When you get to a bar, you can send your characters to do side quests.
People sometimes ask you to get rid of monsters or to help them find
something, so you send three of your characters in a specified number of
days to do the quest (no battles or events involved), and you have to
give them money for allowances (?) to do the quest as well. After the
completion date you can return to the same bar and ask them to report to
you. They will tell you what happened in their quest and finally give
you what they found in their quest and each of the participating members
get their JP. Some special items that cannot be used in battles are
found by using this method (such as books that you can actually read).
Sometimes they may even find new "secret" locations that contain
interesting stuff. I've found a town where it is said magical knights
live there, however this town has not appeared on the map (yet?). Thus
I'm not sure whether these places are for real or not.
As you get more of those treasures that you earn in the side quests
your reputation as an "adventurer" or "treasure hunter" increases.
(I don't know what these do to the game though)
(Ignacio's notes: One day passes for each move you make in the world
map. If you want the time to go faster, you can always find two
adjacent blue spots and go from one to the other repeatedly (great
way to reproduce your monsters, by the way). On the other hand, it
is unknown if finishing the game in more or less days will have
negative consequences, and you could use this time to train your
other characters)

Speaker's Faith up and Brave up ability can raise character's stats
permanently (Ramza's abilities that raise them work just al well).
The stats lowers a bit after the battle, but remains higher than
what they start out with. For example, you raise a character's
Brave from 45 to 60. After the battle, his brave is probably
around 50. Keep casting that ability in the game to pump up the
stats for all of your characters.
WARNING - If you raise them both above 100, the character will
leave your party PERMANENTLY. So remember to keep them below 95
just in case. You may receive a warning if you go above 90, but
don't worry.
