Leveling up for the bored and curious

[UltimaLimit]

How do you usually level up your people? If you're bored/in need of training, here's how I train:

Usually, I have a weak Squire in the fight run around chopping things with his sword and throwing rocks until he can get Accumulate and Gained JP Up. Then I have my "strong" people fight while 1 new recruit sits safely in a corner and Accumulates for 30-50JP a turn. If any enemies happen to get to him, he beats the crap out of him because his Attack power is usually about 10-15 by that point. Just assign him a "bodyguard" until he gets the JP for Accumulate.

Once I get a Mediator, I kill all but one enemy (usually I let a Goblin survive in Mandalia Plains), Threaten it until it turns into a chicken, then corner it and start using Negotiate to take a bunch of money while the Squire's Accumulating (earning the Mediator JP). I use Threaten now and again so chicken doesn't recover, and double-team with a Thief if I have one handy. You can make so much money that way it isn't even funny, and eventually Negotiate can get stronger as the battle progresses--after 45min I got up to 1000Gil a pop. (Late in the game, you start out getting 1200+Gil a shot, and still it gets stronger gradually.)

I have one of my remaining people be a Monk--he gets hit by other allies for JP, then earns JP himself using Chakra. (Good for training beasts, since they can't Accumulate or anything.) I repeat all of this over and over and over, gaining up to 1000JP a person in one fight, until I'm bored out of my _______ mind and kill the last enemy.

Oh, and I use Yell a lot on the Squire, since once you get further in the game their levels are a joke, and they've a lot of catching up to do. Really, the hardest part of this strategy is A) getting Accumulate for the Squire and B) finding a fairly "safe" enemy the Mediator has a 100% chance of threatening.

Bored yet? I am.
