If they do not go up in exp... how do they level up? That defeats the purpose. I'm pretty sure I remember an increase in experience.

Now, if only their limit breaks went up automatically...

I think thats asking too much

I don't think that the inactive members get 50% I'd say less, something like 25%. Interesting though what happened to you, hehe now you don't have to bother lvl them up separately

. Cool

No, the characters you don't use DO level up. What happens, is that every time your main character levels, they level. Basically, when Cloud levels, so does everyone else not in your group. This is slower than if they were in your active group, but it prevents them from falling too far behind the others.

How is that slower? Cloud is almost always in the main party... so anytime he levels, everyone else does? If anything that is faster than switching them out. And I can already tell you that is not true... because there have been plenty of times where I'd leave Red XIII at level 23, then come back to him several hours later and he... is still at Level 23.

It must be an EXP percentage or the levels increase at certain points in the storyline.

Remeber that each level has a different amount of EXP to gain from any other, so they wouldn't gain simply half the levels your active party do.

Um, i don't think they level up at the same speed but the inactive members defo recieve SOME exp

It's slower because lower level chars level up faster than high level chars. Cloud is always at a higher level, on the account he is always in the active party. So, basically, if they were in the active group, they would be gaining 2 levels for every one of Cloud's levels. See? Slower.

And yes, that IS how it works. Just because you come back hours later and Red hasn't leveled doesn't mean that it doesn't work that way. Cloud must level for all the other inactive chars to level. Once you get to the higher levels (55+) it's every other level that the other chars level. Get it?

It's interesting how they set that up... I don't know if they did this from the start?

I always expected the inactive party members to level up slightly, just to create the feeling that they would too have battles along the way as well as the main party.
I tries to rotate anyway, but it's handy to know that if you don't to use someone they will still level up slightly anyway; yay!

Its always a good thing to dot aht though, you never know when you will need them.

But waht about when Rufus and CLoud get into a scuffle, by taht point in time they would have had to show everyone else where to go in the sotryline.
