So I've spent 80 hrs getting the best gear and leveling my characters. Everyone has 9999 HP, 999 MP, and the best gear one can imagine. As for stats Firion, Gus, and Maria are almost maxed out on their main weapon/shield and have all spells at 16-99. That is with the cancel trick. It still took over 50+ hrs to get all of them that high.
Now comes Leon. He's killing me. Im the guy that usually maxs out all the characters in every FF. It will take years with this guy. There are no tricks. In order to get one spell up to 16-99 I have to cast it 1700 times. I have Leons spell slots filled. Thats a lot of spells to cast. Then comes his stats and weapon skills......
Well I'll post when I'm done.....in ten years. Hopefully I still have my sanity. If not, at least I'll have FF2j Characters maxed out.........
