My tips: A little tougher than your previous battles. And so it should be - this is the final boss of Disc 1 (as you've no doubt guessed)!
Firs of all, cast Shell on all of your party members. This will minimise the damage Edea does to you. She uses the most powerful versions of the three 'basic' magic attacks; Firaga, Blizzaga and Thundaga. All 3 do a large amount of damage to you. A way to stall her is to cast Reflect on your party by using Carbuncle (Reflect GF). This should make Edea's attacks bounce right back at her... but then again, she's an intelligent opponent. She'll use Dispel to stop your magic bouncing shenanigans. This is good, since you can use this time to either start summoning a GF, drawing some of the delicious magic from her, or plain old laying the smack down (that's attacking her, for those unable to understand what I'm saying).
It's not just magic Edea uses, either. She also has a physical attack called Astral Punch. She doesn't use this too often, so don't waste any Protects.
Using Double will help this battle go along in your favour a lot more. Hit her with everything you've got, using Life to revive Squall, Rinoa and Irvine when they get KO'd, taking advantage of Limit Breaks, using Curing magic when your health gets low, summoning Carbuncle... you get the idea.
Newbies may have to try a few times to beat her. Don't give up! They wouldn't put a boss in if it was impossible to defeat!
Once you defeat her... Congratulations! You've beaten Disc 1!
Now the game really begins...!
