    Default Should I level up??

    Thing is that I am supposed to enter some town to the south of this other town where I fisrt see Rachel. Most online guides claim I should be around level 16. Im only around 10-13. No wonder all of the walkthroughs have been saying that Kefka was easy back at Narshe and I ddin't believe them. So I wanna know. Should I level up to atleast 20 with all of them to have a better start for what lies ahead??

    Leveling can't hurt. If you're really having trouble, then go ahead.

    I wouldn't say it's necessary. What fun is a game if it's a breeze, right?

    If you feel so inclined, though, try getting Sabin to level 15. That's where he learns Fire Dance, which will make your life a lot easier.

    Also, if you're heading to Zozo soon, I would suggest that all of your characters have over 400 hit points. You fight Slam Dancers there that can cast Ice 2 for 300-400 damage.

    I try to bring a party that can kill the Slam Dancers before they have a chance, but I'm not always fast enough :/

    If you want to maximize your stat development potential, try to not overlevel, or only level up as much as necessary until later in the game when you get Espers like Bahamut, Raiden, Fenrir and others that significantly boost a stat when you level up.

    I keep my party as low level as possible, untill I get espers. The lvl bonuses are great.

    Level up but to at least 20? That doesnt sound like fun.

    Not to 20, but at least a little.

    Just pretend you're doing the low level challenge.

    I wasn't sure what levels I usually am at that point, but I know I never have Fire Dance by that point. I usually get it when I'm in or shortly after Zozo, so yeah, leveling up to level 20 is pretty unnecessary. If you are having problems though, like I said, it can't hurt. I usually just level after Zozo as I'm trying to learn some spells.

    Bah, I and Necronopticous (and several others) have beaten Kefka(final boss version) with a level 6-7 party... so... it's not like you NEED to level up in order to progress.

    Also, guides always recomend far too high levels.

Thanks to different kinds of equipment, magics and summons, there's only a very few attacks that means instant-kill for your entire party... and then there's also Life3 which helps out a lot in those situations too.

    There's only 3 battles that's really, really REALLY hard. First Ultros, The sky battle before the floating continent and the final Kefka.

    And just out of curiosity, how do you beat Kefka with such a low level party? Do you use any trick? How long does it take?
