tell me about it! If theres one thing that FF games have in common its that. And they always require u to br on some huge level before teh last few badies especially although they make it easy to beat the earlier ones with barely any training at all! And since in FFX the entire game (for me at least) is basically one huge race to the finish, there's not much in between time to stop and get leveled up. I mean between running from one thing or another I had no time to go over places and comb them for items and kill heaps of baddies to level up so I just got to the next baddie with virtually the same level as the previous one and it worked fine untill I reached that Seymour fella. And Ive been kinda leveling up since whenever I play because it agravates me so much that Ive put it on the backburner..... Wait till u reach the cacctus bit in FFX2. I found it boring as all hell. And repetitive and stupid. I mean seriously wth? Magic cactuses? How does that even fit into the story. etc.
