My characters are about 40 now. I guess it's not necessary to make them achieve level 99?

Yeah, I know about the challenge of not letting the levels gettin' higher than 5 or so, but I just want to be sure about winning the final battle.

--------------------

Horned - Morbid Thrash Metal
Murw - Doomy atmospheric black metal

My characters ranged from level 45 to level 51.

(And isn't there another thread on this topic already?)

Searched three times. Did not find a topic titled in a way that would make me think I had found one. Decided to stop wasting my time. If you know of one, do the proper thing and report the post and send the URL of the existing topic like a good little boy. -R51

i think there is another thread for this, not sure tho....anyways, last time i played i on average all my ppl were at 55. some tend to be higher than others, and one or two of them were VERY low since i seldom used them.

That's also something in this game which is apart from most other RPG's; The characters seem to gain level even if they are not in your party.

--------------------

Horned - Morbid Thrash Metal
Murw - Doomy atmospheric black metal

They seem to gain experience at a rate that's greater than zero but less than the rate at which your active-party members are gaining experience...does anyone know of the actual rate/algorithm? (*tries to poke MasterZED, Detah, or i90east*)

Well this is what's in the Algorithms FAQ regarding the automatic upgrading of levels.

Quote (FAQ)

When a character first joins your party (in the World of Balance, or the World of Ruin), their level is calculated based on the average level of your current party members. The level for characters is also recalculated at a few other points in the game as well.

I'm not sure what those other points in the game are. Perhaps other people can have fun pointing them out.

My levels average around the typical 40-50 level mark unless I level up the main group to 80-99.

Average? Hmm. Well, adding in my last four or five level 99 games, probably somewhere around 70 or 75.

Usually they average from 50-56. A few times I got them to levels 99 and once at around 28-30.

I know for sure FFVII also raises the levels of secondary characters, and I think all later FFs do it as well.

Anyway, I tended to be around 60 or so.

I'm usually at 99. Yeah.

To be honest , around level 40-50 with almost every character , some like Gau with low than 30, Umaro lv33 ,and other like Mog lv99 and Shadow lv99, but usually I quit on some and have around level 40-50..

At the end of my first playthrough, my average level was around level 35-40. The second time I played through, my average level was higher, around level 45-60.

Yeah - FFVII does, but VIII doesn't. I prefer the secondary characters not having their levels raised - I have some horrible (unfounded) suspicion that when they level up by themselves the stats stay the same...

Oh - and mine were about 55-75 ish (mostly).

"The future just ain't what it used to be..."

my average lvl is around 50 for the main party about 30 if i factor the lvl 20-25 people which is my non terra, sabain, edger and locke party

--------------------

procastinate now, dont put it off

I usually range from Level 60-75.I spend my time fighting in the Dinosaur Forest.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

The experience and the Economizers are well worth it!

But my best leveled ones are Terra,Cyan,Gogo,and Sabin.(I nearly always use them,they can become the most powerful characters in the game if used correctly!)

--------------------

GIMME THE PEANUT BUTTER,KUPO!!!

I usually finish off around level 60, and seem to have a really hard time getting past 70.

Does anyone else feel like there's kind of a ceiling on what level you can reach, like with the Suikoden games?

--------------------

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

The level i always end up at ( played it 5 times) is 58 to 62

--------------------

Lets see, connect the blue wire to the ...wait, why is it tick*boom*

I've only finished the game twice, on the Super Nintendo, and both times my average level was 99. Finally playing Anthology.

I'm normally in the 70-75 range. I should tried to be higher but whatever

I have three people that're I think level 80. They're the "Leaders " of the little groups for the final towers, and one or two assistant leaders, who're about 60-70. The others are each levels 52, save for Gogo and Umaru. They can be level 2 for all I care. Each person knows almost every spell because I spend time in that little desert in the WOR by I think Maranda, with Tonberries and weird vacuum-like things. I forget their names, and the Tonberries might be called "Pugs." ^^;

...I'm a very orderly person when it comes to massacring Kefka.

--------------------

You're telling me that there's no hope.

I'm telling you you're wrong.

I always get my characters to level 99 before beating the game, but I think what your looking for is that level at which I usually reach the point where I could beat it if I so desired, so, 55 or so

The first time I beat FF 3 I was around level 31-35. once you start casting ultima the end is just too easy.

My party memeber levels range from lv.27- 36 when I defeated the game

The first time I played the game, I was smart and trained all of my characters, every last one, to exactly L60 before entering Kefka's Tower.

I hope I don't need to tell you what was wrong with that.

The other time I remember beating the game, I think I was in the 48-52 range and was almost disappointed at how easily the final battle went

My average levels of my characters is usually from 60-75 or so (on any final fantasy), unless i really work it and level them up to around 95 or so.

Sometimes i just feel like breaking loose and leveling like crazy...Dont you?

My characters were around Level 40 by the end. The final boss fights were easy because I taught them all Ultima, Haste 2, Cure 3, Life 3, and Life 2. Just pound on them with Ultima and heal when necessary.

--------------------

Ultimately a man must travel his chosen path alone.

I usualy have all my guys atleast higher then 40 but my Sabin can go up to 70-80 depending on how much time I spend using him by himself killing things.

Usually about lvl 60-75 somewhere around there.

My first time through, I was around level 40, but the next time, I was level 60 +

~ Aurora, exhale bloody air! Dark Holy! ~

I usually have a couple of characters at level 60-65 before I enter Kefka's Tower, while others (usually the ones I rarely use, like Umaro or Gau) are at level 40. That works well enough for me, and really, I'm way too lazy to level anyone up to lev. 99.
