FFIX - Is Leveling Up To 99 Really Worth It?

On my FFIX save i have Zidane and Garnet at Level 99 and to be honest i dont really notice the difference from when Zidane was at level 60,which is quite annoying becuase it takes ages to train your characters to that level on FFIX,what are your thoughts on this?

Oh that picture is the level 1 Ozma challenge.

No, I don't think reaching to level 99 helps much. The only difference I found was just higher HP when I leveled Zidane to 80. The most important thing in FFIX anyways was maxing out all of the characters abilities anyways. I had no problem beating FFIX the first time, with my characters being level 50ish. The lower your characters are the better the challenge is.

I donīt really think its worthy you can beat every enemy with relative ease if your higher than level 50 i think!

Level 99 is a waste of time in my opinion unless youīre trying to accomplish a challenge by reaching it or something!

I beat the game with my party at level 60 and was fine. I figure anything over that is what you would do if you're into maxing out stats and reaching limits on everything. I'm not one of those people. Long as I've beaten all the sidequests I'm happy.

Still would like to get the Excalibur II sometime though.

I'll eventually get there just to say I did it, but it's not a top priority for me. Sure it will make the boss fight with Ozma a lot easier, but after that, there's nothing else I need to do in the game.

You're telling me.
I've spent a good 5-7 hours leveling my characters up and zidane is only level 20! And to top it all off, I've been having to kill off the other characters for him to even get a decent share of exp!

It's not really necessassary in any game unless you want to fight some impossible and even then it's usually not necessassary. Some people just like to max out their characters. You should be able to beat any end boss at level 60 or 70.

I have killed Squall in FFVIII because he was over 10 levels ahead of everyone.

Anyway, I might attempt to get to level 99 but I wouldn't say it is a top priority. More just satisfaction of maxing out.
