Man, this topic is huge. I come back a day later and there are ten more pages, awesome stuff, awesome game.

Quick question, about how strong should I be before I move onto chapter 12? I'm just piddling around in chapter 11, doing missions and the like, loving it, being as addicted as I've been to every other final fantasy I've loved, but I'm just wondering how long I should be doing this before moving on? I mean I don't want to just obliterate everything in my path for the next couple of chapters, I want to actually have a fight, but at the same time I hear the difficulty curve jumps up big time, and I don't want to get crushed.

Right now my characters are all level 4 in 1 of their 3 natural job roles, and haven't touched their 3 unnatural jobs. They are level 3 in whatever their other 2 jobs are, but are working on their way to a level 4 for each. For example, Lightning is a Level 4 Commando, level 3 ravager, and level 3 medic, and level 0 everything else. Snow is a level 4 sentinel, level 3 commando, and level 3 ravager, level 0 all else, ect ect.

Everyone has somewhere between 3-4k HP (except hope, the little dweeb just crossed 2k), Lightning has a level 25 Helter Skelter, and she's the only one with a weapon that good.

Is this sufficient and I should move on, or should I keep on just messing with missions for a while?

Also, I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I never lose the ability to go and mess around on pulse right? I'm not going to get to chapter 13 and it's going to say "well, I hope you did everything you want because now you're save file is just before the final boss and that's all you can do." I get to come back and keep doing stuff right?

 

3 - 4K HP is very good

You can beat the final boss of chapter 11....that wuill expand your crystarium.....after that you can save & continue grinding to fill up that crystarium level before chapter 12 (thats what I'm doing)

or you can just go into chapter 12 as you are......which loads of people have done.

Its your choice.....I just want this game to LAST FOREVER!

So I'm grinding to get the level 5 crystarium done for my main "battlers".

I just love messing around in pulse too, digging treasure with chocobo's & so on!!

Oh and you can go to pulse & mess around AFTER the game ends to don't worry.
