I've said this once, I'll say it a million times, do not level up past level 35-40 playing FFVI (even that's too much), there's no point. The game can be played from start to finnish without getting extra cash (the good stuff you find) or experience. Not only do you save yourself hours of being bored to death, you get to have more fun playing the game, with some fun tactics sometimes (thanking i90 once again for his job in making a harder version of the ROM, too bad tools, throw, swrdtech, blitzes and god knows what else ignores dodge %, then you'd have a fun game to play with).

Try and finnish the game below level 30 or 25. Go around at those levels, then see how useful the oh so precious offering and atma weapon are. Plus every now and then the enemies might get a good smack in on you and make life interesting during battle for a change.
