Did somebody say Mathematographist?

To get to level 99, Cloud and Barret require 2,420,933 XP points. Tifa and Red XIII require 2,452,783 while Aeris requires 2,484,643. The best place to Level-Up in Midgar is in the Shinra building after the Jenova events, with each battle giving approximately 154ish experience points. So, assuming you were to start at level 1 (not possible), it would take 15721 battles to get Cloud and Barret to level 99, 15928 battles to get Tifa and Red XIII to level 99 and 16135 battles to get Aeris to level 99. So while no where near half a million enemies (more like fourty-eight thousand), it's still a sizable amount.
