The general idea in the final fantasy series is to get a higher lv than the bosses you fight at that point in the game. In FF7 I'm usually lv 60 before i get past the golden saucer.... in FF9 I was lv 60 right after fighting my first black mages. In 10 i was lv... well that doesn't really go by lv's but i could whoop sin easily by the time I got to him. FF8 is the only exceptions.. you could go through the whole game spending very little time actually lving. Tho it's still more fun fighting at lv 100..![]()
