Limit Levelling

[Jolts]

Where do you usually go to level up your Limit Breaks?

Possible (SPOILER) (I don't know if you'd call any of this spoilers, so I'm just being safe) I usually get to the part where I get Vincent, then travel back to Fort Condor and fight in the forrests around there. The fights there have 2 (rarely), 3, or 5 enemies at a time, and by then, one Matra Magic should get rid of them all (with an occasional miss here and there). Then, after I've gotten all of the first parts, I go back to Cloud and Tifa's hometown (can't remember the spelling) and fight until I get those purple demon things with wings, manipulate them, and have them attack whoever needs to use his or her limit break to get the second parts of their limits. Then, after I get Cid, I do it all over again (it's good for gaining money and AP that early in the game).

I'm playing it over again, and that's where I am in the game right now, and Cloud is already at level 33 with Meteorain (two or three more uses to get Finishing Touch).

P.S. For those who don't know, you get the second parts of limits by using the first part 8 times, and you get the next level by defeating enough enemies (it varies between characters).

[Zante]

I always get my limits by fighting the rabbit-like monsters (jumper?) near the chocobo sage's house.

[Dragonfire]

i level cloud and barret early....

usually in that cave after the midgar zolom. there's a spot where you keep fighting 4 or 5 monsters every fight, so that makes getting the next level pretty easy for early on. Also, at this point the monsters are powerful enough to effect the limit gauge, so it works out pretty nicely. It's nice having those two have their limits at Level 3-2 so early in the game.

I get my limits by fighting the monsters near Mideel. They always appear in groups of 3 or 4, making them good for learning next-level limit breaks. The green enemies also do quite a bit of damage, and with Fury status and possibly Cover materia, you can easily get a limit break for whoever you want.

[Ultima Shadow]

Well... I just do it... don't do it on any specific battle. Somehow I just level up the limmits to 4.

[Dark Matter]

I go to Mideel.
And then, I have one of my characters equipped with HP<->MP, the others with Enemy Lure, Manipulate.
Just manipulate the enemy to damage the character with HP<->MP.
I don't know why, but the limit bar will go to the full in no time.
One more thing, I don't equip with good armour.
It's very dangerous to go to Northern Cave with maxHP < 999.

[m4tt]

I just gain them as I go along. I don't like to run around in circles all that much in one area unless I really have to.

[Raistlin]

The forest around Mideel is the second best place to level up in the game. Period. For exp and AP.

The first best would be deep inside the Crater.

[BG-57]

I go to Mideel.
And then, I have one of my characters equipped with HP<->MP, the others with Enemy Lure, Manipulate.
Just manipulate the enemy to damage the character with HP<->MP.
I don't know why, but the limit bar will go to the full in no time.

I suspect that the filling of limit breaks is based on damage incurred proportional to maximum HP. I've used a similar technique except I use Cover on the character with HP <-> MP and let the monsters attack physically.

[-N-]

The forest as soon as you exit the Mythril Mines. Enemies routinely appear in groups of 3-5.

[UltimaLimit]

To build up a limit break, I usually go to Junon with Fury and Cover on the person. Then I find some SOLDIER 2nd classes and cast Haste and Berserk on them. Just let them pound away and heal as needed. But Jolts is right, the area near Fort Condor is great for netting kills.

(SPOILER)The place to go for most AP/EXP/Gil with the least effort earlier in the game (late disc 1) is the Sleeping Forest. You can kill the Malldancers and Boundfats with one hit and they net you around 200AP a fight. Obviously the Crater is best, but Sleeping Forest is most reward for least effort, and you don't have to worry about sudden death. Just be on guard for Slow and Darkness.

[Raistlin]

200 AP a fight in the Sleeping Forest? Are you sure? I'm going to have to check that out.

[Dragoon Kain]

i just used aeris' limit break fury brand to help the other get theres

[Jolts]

Man, a lot of you get your limits late in the game. I'm just about to go into Ancient Temple for the first time (after I do some other minor things), and everybody already knows the highest level they can (except Cid, but I'm working on that). Cloud = 3, Barret = 3, Tifa = 3, Aeris = 4, Red XIII = 4, Yuffie = 4, Cait Sith = 2, Vincent = 3, Cid = 1. They are all also at around level 40 (Cloud's at 45 or 46), and I almost maxed out on Hi-Potions without buying a single one .

Also, those purple demon things I was talking about earlier (if you read that)...I still don't know their names, but their "Dive Kick" (or whatever it's called) deals 1/4 MaxHP damage to the target, so it's very helpful at building the limit bar, no matter how high your MaxHP is. What's even better, if 1/4 of you MaxHP results in a decimal, it rounds down. So, you could possibly use it four times and still have 3HP if necessary (like when building them level 3 limits ).

P.S. I can't remember if you can even get Omnislash on disc 1, but who'd waste all that money to gain enough GP to be able to fight enough to get 32,000 BP? That's just ludicrous, I'll just wait until I can race in the Chocobo racing to get nearly free GP (gotta' buy the stall(s) and greens...'course, I'll probably just buy one Sylkis Green and duplicate it ).

P.P.S. For those who don't know (which probably isn't too many), using a Hyper on any character will put them into Fury status, and if you use it outside of battle, you can put them in Fury even when they're equipped to protect against that.

[aeris2001x2]

Am i a freak for having Clouds level 3 limits before the cross dressing section in midgar and eventually having Barret, Tifa, RedXIII and Aeris level 3 on the midgar zolom?(as well as beta, its funny to kill the big fish and jenova birth in like 1-2 hits)

...ok i know i train up 2 much in ffVII
