Are you a lazy mofo?

In the random battle days, I ran from fights all the time, and was often underleveled. Now that I have the option to avoid them, I fight every battle. I don't think I've skipped one yet, but it's likely because I try to max all the classes on the new sphere grid thing-y as soon as I can before they open up more of it. xD

That's useless. You need millions of Crystal Points to maximize your characters and later one slot needs 30000-60000 and even 120000 Crystal Points. And you get the last Crystarium Level when you have beaten the final boss. Later you will get the Growth Egg (Final Fantasy VI) which doubles the CP all your characters get after a battle. Then you only have to use the training spot I have posted on youtube (6600 CP in 10-15 seconds, later less than 10 seconds and 13200 CP with the Growth Egg) and you can get your 7 Crystarium trophies earlier but it still takes you 100 years.

I don't think there's any problem with skipping battles as long as you're going to level up by fighting random dudes just before the boss if you can't kill him after a couple of attempts. It's usually pretty obvious when you need to put in a few more fights and when you don't. Let everyone play things their way, that's the way I see it - if someone finds themself needing to get more CP I'm sure they'll know what to do.

Basically what I'm getting at is that it's not useless. For the level that Raven Nox is (or was at the time of her post), I'm sure her role levels were limited. It's only been recently for myself that I've not been able to easily fill up the crystal-thing, so yeah.
