Remind me about something.

[Dragonfire]

I remember something back in the day about how monsters will stay weak if you don't lvl cloud up (keeping him dead). I forgot if this was true or not. A friend of mind said it was, but I'd rather get an answer from the FF community.

[TheAbominatrix]

You're thinking of VIII. VII's monsters have a set level, VIII's level as you do.

So to say it clearly, no it's not true.

[Del Murder]

She's right. Enemies level up with you in FFVIII, but in VII they all have set levels.

[Cuchullain]

Monsters in VIII don't level up at the same rate you do though; they level up a little slower. Monsters in VII don't level up because you don't have (if you just follow the story) the same level of freedom to free-roam as you do in VIII
