Gods and Goddesses, a waste of time?

[Despotus]

It's been a while since a new thread was posted, and I have been curious about popular opinion on the idea of God-like party characters. There is a trick to boost your characters' stats up to 50 speed, 99 PA and MA, and 999 hp, by leveling down in a weak class like Bard, or Calculator and then going back up again as a stronger class. See: ffgurus.net/fft/?section=godguide for details. Do you think this is a killer way to have the most kickas* party, or is it just a waste of countless hours (as if we weren't all already doing that! )
