You dont't need to hold onto all your magic. You can use some of it. As long as you don't use like 20 a battle, you'll be fine if you re-draw/refine more. I don't understand why people keep saying 'don't use your magic you must have 100 at all times or your stats will suffer tremendously!!1'.

It isn't hard not to use Junctioned magic. I would be annoyed at always having to refine more magic when I used it. I rarely ever use any magic, be it Junctioned or not. I just stick with commands. The only magic that I will use regularly is Aura, and that is only when I really want to kick some ass.

When you start getting more powerful spells like Full-Life, Ultima, Meteor, etc. your stats will drop suprisingly fast when you use them, and they are not easily refined either. So it's best just to leave them alone.

lol. Those levels are actually about medium-high. High levels = weaker party.

I desagree enterely my party is all at level 100 and is pretty powerfull, all of them have 9999 hp and most of their stats are between 200 and 250, it´s all a matter of giving good abilities to your GF and this was before the final batle with Ultimecia and the GF´s are all divided between all of my characters.

Just think how much stronger you could've been if you would've stayed at a low level and then equiped Stat Bonuses and increased 4 of them by 80-90 points. You would be a hell of alot stronger than you are now, no doubt about it.

And instead of using all of those Stat+xx% abilities, you could've used better and more useful ones like Auto-Haste, Initiative, Expend 2x-1, etc., etc.

Three of my Gfs possesse Auto-Haste:Cerberus, Cactuar and Leviathan
Pandemona, Eden and another one that i can remember have Initiative
I don´t really use the Expend 2x-1 abilitie but i know two of my Gfs have it

And while they leveled up i used Str+1,Vit+1,Mag+1,Spr+1 bonus
After returning from the Lunar base my characters levels were:

Squall=Level 71
Zell=Level 57
Selphie=Level 52
Quistis and Irvine=Level 40+
Rinoa=Level 38

Then i leveled them up to 100
