I personally found it to be the easiest place to get the levels I needed, mainly since there was only one enemy there to kill/attack me. 
Some of those later places were just too hard for me and I got my ass kicked alot.

I hate Zombie pet though. He's fucking uselesscompared to TOnberry dearest. Yea his stats are a little better but he doesn't support me with an awesome kickass magic spell like Tonny did...I might go back and retrain a Tonberry just for the heck of it :/ Zombie dearest casts the same spell that I cast with the same effect :/ and his attack power is not that high and since he's higher level I can't really level him up....meh, I'll keep my dead puppet for a few more weeks until I decide if he's a waste of space or not
