First, let me say that I love this game. My second favorite in the series. The level up system's great, the story's amazing, and the World of Ruin is beautiful even now in 2010.

The One problem I have with this game though is the FINAL FRIGGIN' DUNGEON! Seriously, I hate having to split the party. I couldn't stand the Phoenix cave, what makes them think I'll enjoy this area?

I really don't want to train 3 different parties; I only have 5 different characters at levels 38-45, I don't want to level grind the characters I don't like.

Did this problem bother anyone else, or is this the one exception to my taste in retro-jrpgs?
