Do you use everyone in battles?

[Colonel Angus]

Here's the problem with Kimahri: he's not in your party during the single best level-grinding spot in the entire game (the Highbridge). So when you hit the Calm Lands, suddenly you have six world-destroyers and one non-specialized guy who's lagging way behind. It basically cripples him for the rest of the game.

I never really used the Highbridge, just Omega Ruins.

But how do you get strong enough to kill the guys in Omega Ruins?

Highbridge!

W/ the right equipment, it's not impossible. Having First Strike is a lifesavOr. The only truly nightmarish creature is the Malboro. Gotta keep Yunie in reserve just in case you face one of those.

You can grind on Highbridge?

I rotate, but not constantly. If someone falls behind, they hang out in the combat party until they're back even. Then on to the next person.

On my second playthrough I tried to get everyone exp in every battle but I didnt move Kimhari along the grid until I got the lvl spheres.

Kimhari was one of my favorite characters to play with after I had him learn steal and use from Rikkus grid I moved him to Tidus's to learn hastaga then off to Aurons he went he was for me one of my more useful characters. My second Character was Yuna I rarely summoned Aeons unless it was a boss fight and I was only using their overdrives with Yuna I had her learn all her useful skills and later on in the game when I had the better spheres I had her learn LuLu's level 3 magic and moved her to LuLus grid her magic was just as strong plus I had her healing skills. My third character switched between wakka and LuLu I usually ended up maxing Wakkas grid and moving him into Aurons which made him a powerhouse. Tidus and I Auron I didnt use as much the second time playing and Ive never ever used Rikku I always found her useless getting her so far into the game.

You can grind on Highbridge?

The Highbridge is where I get probably the most growth in my characters. Just back and forth up and down the Highbridge. It may get a bit repetitive, but that's when you throw some music on and grind for a while (no pun intended)

[Depression Moon]

For my first playthrough or two the only character I didn't use was Kimahri and thought he sucked. He takes work to make good and for a good portion you have to have him stuck on his grid because I believe you need a key sphere just to get him out of his grid. This game is better than all the other FFs in that it encourages you to switch characters often with the varied enemy types.

[Mo-Nercy]

Yeah, I've always tried to level everyone up. I thought that was what most people did, actually. Often I leave one lone enemy attacking my party as I go through and make everyone defend so they get a turn in.

Kimahri is awesome. I do something different with him every game. He's only held into his little part of the Sphere Grid by Lvl 1. Key Nodes, and you pick up about 20 of them in Djose (I think). I usually send him down Wakka's path but I've also tried him as a backup White and Black Mage (Lancet = unlimited MP).

I have not thought to grind on the Highbridge. I'll be sure to try it when I get up to there in the current playthrough... But Kimahri would miss out wouldn't he? He's not in the party because he's holding off Seymour, right?

[Aulayna]

As much as possible, yes. Sometimes I forget or just want to get the battle out of the way.

Especially on those ones where you get into a battle 2 pixels away from a chest you're trying to get too...

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I switch everyone in the party often, but not in every battle. If I'm fighting a turtle, a bird, and a flan than I'm cool with just using Auron, Wakka and Lulu for that battle. I will try to switch in everyone for boss battles and really tough regular monsters.

Sometimes I'll switch someone out if i'm low on HP and just don't want to use a potion

Surprised by the lack of Ronso love here. Have to keep him beefed up for his touching solo fight on Gagazet!

[Aelitalily]

Personally I level everyone and switch them all out - I use the same principle as Pokemon - You need a good balanced team ! :3 And I just assumed you would be wasting "exp" otherwise since they all get the same regardless if 3 people fight or all 7... I hope I am not imagining this... heheheh :3

[Raistlin]

Lord no. Who is Kimahri again?

Yes. I used everyone else except Kimahri.

[Freya]

I really don't switch them out much. I don't like using some characters in combat. I mean I will switch them in and out but not really?

[Ayen]

I use who I need to.
