Do you train? - Page 3

Yeah I train. I am a bit of a veteran when it comes to RPG. I have played since they were only text based and training wasn't an option...you just answered questions. When the first real RPG came along I wondered why I was toast every few minutes...then it dawned on me...LVL's! Training in necessary and in most games actually fun. It makes you richer in FFXII also. Loot for all you are worth, get some Thieve's Cuffs and go nuts on the stealing. Attempt to attract 6 or more of the same monster to you (ie zombies and such) and wipe them out in one fell swoop with magicks. It's FUN. I love training.

I definitely train my characters (I've been big into leveling up since my first rpg), but I've found that training is easier in XII because of the shear amount of Hunts to go on. So training doesn't seem to be happening, since I'm so busy hunting various monsters. Which is a great thing about XII's system.

Worst mistake i ever made training was in FF8, where i levelled all my characters to level 100 on disk 3. go to ultimecia's castle, fight omega weapon, he casts lvl 5 death...all dead.

Does that mean that if your level 100 on final fantasy 8 you can't beat the game??

Same i'm up to the village just after ozmone plains and all my charaters are up to lvl 18 (execpt my frans who's lvl 23

) and i'm perfectly fine... just resently i started to upgrade wepons and armor cause for most of the game i'd just been buying magic but now i have better equipment it's really easy

I do train alot in this game. Im always higher then what the guide recommends, I prefer to know Im going to kick some serious butt if Im about 6 or 7 levels higher then the recommendation lol.

Plus I always make sure my characters are all the same level to balance it out just in case 3 get wiped out in battle.

i train here and there during the game then when the bahamut became available i started hunting marks and leveling my characters up alot. i eventually got to level 99

I had to train a lot throughout Final Fantasy XII. I found it hard to advance through each region without leveling up. The levels of the enemies seemed to vary a lot between areas... But, even after I beat the final boss, I found myself still training. Not for any real reason, other than I found it to be rather fun. Love the Gambit system :3

I try to train at the end, so the main game is a bit more difficult than when you're training and you're 5 lvls above the standard. Game gets too boring if you train too much during the game imo. Ofc when yoou're at the end of the main game and want to do the optional (hard) sidequests, you'll train longer than the ones who trained during the game but that's something I'll gladly take =).
