When I was about to finish the game. Time: around 45 hours
Squall - lvl 100
others - around lvl 60 (Rinoa with the higher lvl among the five.)

..... no need to level up! I just hate fighting pawns. Escape while you can (I say it's relatively easy to escape.) or equip with non-encounter party ability. All I've done is to acquire every Gfs and master some unique abilities, my Squall's already at lvl 100!!! That's toooo easy. well, I spent a lot of time to draw and go shopping!!! ha, it's easy to make money too, no really need to fight monsters.... Whenever I was in danger, I'll ask Zell to ----KAMIKAZE----- (fanfare's playing right away!)

Ultimecia's bad.... I spent more than an hour to beat her.......
