    Ozmone Plain, south of Giza Plain. It is a good place to start prepping team to visit Zertinan Caverns, another, more worthwhile place to visit.

    The Lhusu Mines were a great place to farm chains and get loot, but I always hated the whole mine aspect. After getting Basch and visiting a floating continent, the last thing I wanted was to be cooped up underground again.

    The Lhusu Mines are an excellent grinding spot relatively early on in the game for gil. You can spawn an infinite supply of skeletons on the bridge for retardedly high chains. I spent a long time here on my first playthrough, which I heavily advise. I really wouldn't bother grinding much at all until getting to this point.

    IIRC, the Henne Mines with the dropping Jelly creatures is probably one of the best later-game grinding spots. I really haven't bothered to do much late-game grinding, though, since I didn't have much trouble by that point. If I bothered to go after some of the higher marks I probably would have gone here.

    After I was past the point of it being particularly useful, I was told about Dustia, which can be easily exploited very early in the game when you have only Vaan. I will probably try this on my next playthrough.

    The Skeletons in Lushu are also interesting early game because they drop Iron Helmets, which at that point are great heavy armour headgear. I got enough to outfit my entire party with them simply by chaining the Skeletons on my way to 99 Bonefragments. And still had some left to spare to sell for some extra gil.

    I chained someplace in the dungeon where you meet Basch. That was good fun early on, and gave me a great start.

    I have to admit, I was briefly confused by your earlier statement as well. I didn't have the Den in mind when you mentioned acquiring a figurine, while I've chained 999 of those stupid little desert tribals.

    Bhujerba, Lhusu, Urutan-Yensa... yeah, that's about it. Once I got some better skills/equipment, I spent a lot of time in Feywood (if I named that correctly)... but I still had to flee a lot...
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I should elaborate on this, shouldn't I :P

    No, not the strategy involved. That's old news. What it means is that early game grinding/training in almost any RPG doesn't do anything for me, especially in FF12 as it kills all the challenge from what I already don't think is a particularly difficult game. However, much later on when I've decided I now want a full license board and all my characters at LV99, that is what I then do.
