when I got to kefka the first time, I doubt I was at level 60, and it took a while to beat. If you want to be forced to spend time leveling up, try any FFV and back. I have never liked spending time to level up, that's why I always kept on going to the next place as long as the party didn't die and I found save spots. in FFVI and all other RPGs. but in a lot of others that doesn't work out too well. the difficulty was just right in this game if you ask me. but i don't care about being forced to do the same battle a million times just to gain some points. when you already know you can do it, why repeat it a million times. as far as I'm concerned, if you survive a dungeon, you should already have enough level to survive the next one, if you know what to avoid doing. the going in and out of dungeons to gain exp, sucks. if it's over the top that is, because then it goes too far the other way after this one.
