Your Levels..How High are You?

[GreenTea]

Untrue. The enemy's level, as long it isn't capped or fixed, will be between 80% and 120% of the average of all three party members.

To put it another way

Enemy level = (([Character 1's level]+[Character 2's level]+[Character 3's level])/3) * 0.8~1.2

Using the example of Squall being Lv100 and the other two being Lv20, enemies will be between Lv37 and Lv56.

Does this apply to the bosses (both big & small) too? Or is it just the small fry??

[TheSpoonyBard]

It applies to all enemies, bosses included. Some bosses have a level cap. For example, Ifrit will never be higher than Lv6 and (SPOILER)Ultimecia will never be higher than Lv65. Enemies on the ICTH/H and Omega Weapon are always Lv100 regardless of your characters' levels.

Wow... Okie-dokie. So it won't matter how high the sidekicks' levels would be since I'll *still* get my @rse kicked by Omega Weapon & friends... ...time to read the walkthrough... ...Oh yeah, thanks TLFR.

Squall / Zell / Quistis: Level 100
Rinoa / Irvine: Level 60-70
Selphie: Level 50

Just started leveling Rinoa and Irvine cause I realised their awesome ^^

My GFs are all about 80+ i think.

Its too easy to level up in this game. Im playing 2 files, one is disk two squall is 33, everyone else is 25. My other is in disk 3, rinoa and squall are 100, zell and irvine are 72, selphie is 50, and quistis is 19

I level up everyone from Lv10~15 to Lv100 with Str/Mag/Vit/Spr Bonus. They get pretty good.

Why not HP? Because HP Ups are cheap and easy to make - 1x Gaea's Ring each! 100x Giant's Ring means +100 HP to someone, and it's worth it, because you can have infinite money. The other ones are not THAT wort, specially Vit Up.

And how can you max natural Luck? Luck Ups are a pain in the bunghole to do, and I don't remember if there is a monster that, when Devoured, gives Luck +1. Luck is not that important, anyway. I don't even care with Luck-J to everyone.

And how can you max natural Luck?

100 Curse Spikes -[Tool-RF]-> 1 Dark Matter -[GFAbl Med-RF]-> 1 Luck-J Scroll -[Forbid Med-RF]-> 1 Luck Up

You're right in thinking there are no monsters that give Luck +1 when Devoured. Luck is important. Among other things, it means you get a Critical hit (2x damage) almost all the time with any character not named Squall.

Well I've finished the game now but the file I used to write a full FAQ on it was racked up with every character maxed out and fully stat increased through devour or items. GF's set up my own "perfect junction system" (PM me for details) and had every item in the game to it's maximum amount so therefore if it was possible to get it I got it. Spells I had 100 of every spell (including lower level versions of multi level spells such as Fire distributed across the characters in my party) completed every side quest all in all the file clock was frozen but I had counted roughly the amount of hours played and managed to get well in excess of 530 hours play from the game....would I go back and play it again? Hell yes.

(please note I also crashed my playstation from over heating it and wore out a copy of the game in the process of doing that file)

I just beat omega with my stats and it captured it, im just editing it with music and making it look like a good action scene.

Ill have it done tomorrow probs.

[The Last Oath]

well i didnt level up untill disc 3 i was about level 25 for each character except for squall who was aout level 30. I got everyone to junction the str bonus e.t.c and then levelled them up to 100 without removing them. Then when i junction str60%e.t.c they got 255 for most stats. (shockwave pulsar did about 400 damage because my spr was 255)
