I know, that is what really threw me off this game. I have done everything I can to do a perfect play through but the max stats will only be on Yang, Rydia, Cecil, Kain, and Rosa. Oh and Edge since he comes into the game on like level 25. So hopefully by the time I level the choosen 5 to 99 he is pretty well ready for 70+.

I will ask but am going to try this anyways. Is it possible to kill my other members to the point they don't gain EXP? Like kill edward, cid, Edge and the twins then take the rest of the members? If so this would be a great help.
