Alternate music
You only just need one party member to change the music. If Felix is in the party, no matter who else is with him it will stay with his battle music. You just need Jenna in the party to hear her battle music and only Isaac to hear his version. The game chooses which music comes first if you have all three music-changing characters in the battling party. Felix's is first, Isaac's is second and Jenna's theme is last. For example, if you want to hear Isaac's or Jenna's theme, make sure they are the only music changer in the battling party.
Defeating Doom Dragon
Go in with the party all with levels at 45 or higher. Give whoever has the most attack points the Sol Blade. Give the Fire Brand and the Trident to the second strongest person in the party. When you go into battle, start raising the attack points with Ivan or Sheba to the two characters that have the Sol Blade and Fire Brand. Each head has about 6,000 HP. It will be a long battle, which will give it a grand total of 1,800. Keep healing your party members with Cool Aura/Pure Wish/Wish Well. When Doom Dragon casts Curse and actually gets your party member, fighting with that person until the very first flame is small. Switch with that person and continue fighting. You may want to boost your Elemental Defense or the Doom Dragon will summon some extremely strong Psynergies, such as Cruel Ruin, which can easily do 400 damage with Elemental Defense or not. It also knows Djinn Blast, which can drain all of your Djinn in your current four characters that are out. However, it will not always do just all of them. One out of two times, it gets all of your Djinn. It is recommended that you not summon anything; if you summon Charon or something similar, it will give Doom dragon the chance to end that party member. Doom Dragon will use Cruel Ruin after it loses one head, eight turns out of nine turns.
Tisiphone Edge

You will get it in the hall with the shaking statue. Its unleash is called Vengeance, which is an archer that shoots arrows. The more arrows that hit, the better the damage. About 1,000 sometimes results in a a perfect unleash.
