Help Glitch?

[DLFlux]

So, after finishing my business in Rocket Town for now and leaving with the Tiny Bronco, I decided to get my characters levels sorted, as I've always kept Aeris in my party, and after I getting Vincent, I kept him throughout Mt. Nibel and onwards.

So Barret, Tifa, Red, Yuffie and that awful thing of Cait Sith are abit behind in the levelling department.

Anyways, to get to the point. I've travelled up to one of the little Islands near Mideel, because the Sea Worm gives decent EXP, AP and gil. I've ran into the Spiral creatures a few times.

Now, when these Spiral things start doing their spinning thing, whoever I tell Cloud to attack, he doesn't, and attacks a different one, yet everyone else will hit the one I tell them too.

Is this some sort of glitch? I have Counter Materia equipped, so I'm wondering if Cloud's been counter-attacking, but somehow the game is reading it as a battle command I've input and CA is overwriting my initial attack?

If that makes sense.

Does it still happen if you remove his Counter-Attack materia?
Does it happen with magic attacks?

Haven't tried it without counter attack equipped yet.

It's only happening on those Spiral enemies from what I've seen so far, and they have only been using physical attacks, so haven't seen it with magic. Going to explore a little more now, so if it does start happening against other things, which do use magic aswell, I'll post it.

It's probably because they're meant do to that...? Anyways, levels don't need to be "sorted out." You may not have noticed this, but EXP doesn't divide like in most FF games here. It *multiplies.* That means, each character gets the full EXP from the battle. The ones that aren't in the party will gain 1/2 the EXP that the active ones are getting, even if they've been KO'ed. Leveling-up happens naturally by using characters, and you really only need to use three most of the time (except at the end). No grinding whatsoever is required. The last boss actually changes his strength based on your level.

What do you mean "they're meant to do that?"

And I know the others level up even when they're not in your party, but I like to keep everyone level. Mainly because I get bored of keeping the same people with me constantly, with the exception of Aeris on disk one. Gets abit boring having the same people with you constantly and seeing the same attacks and limit breaks over and over again, so I like to mix it up. Keep everyone around the same level, and switch between people. So after going through somewhere where you can't use the PHS, I like to switch the others in afterwards and level them abit.

I know what you mean, I'm just saying you don't have to worry too much about it, it'll all even out through the game. About the weird Cloud thing, I really don't know, I was guessing.
