You know a good way to rip through FFX?

As I remember it the normal XP of the enemy is divided evenly among your characters and then everyone who actually participated in the battle (even if it was just to switch in and cast cure on themselves) gets like a 10% bonus on top.

This doesn't sound right to me. At the end of the game when I take three of my characters to grind on Cactuars, they'll gain a bazillion levels but the rest of my party doesn't get anything. I'm checking out the game now, but I've always thought that characters will ONLY gain experience if they participate in the battle.

EDIT: Okay, I checked it out. In the battle results screen, you don't even SEE characters who didn't participate, unless they entered and left without performing an action, in which case they still receive zero experience.

Um.

So what you're saying that he's saying is: each character who participated gets full experience plus 10% more. So then, who doesn't get the 10% bonus? The people who get zero experience for not participating?

I'm more than willing to admit I may be misremembering.  The only way to be sure would be to go back and play it again, and no.

I just checked yet again, this time completing a battle in one turn so that my other two characters could not even act. (Even defending counts as an action worthy of earning their share of experience points, so I had to complete the battle before they even had a chance to do that.) Tidus gained all of the experience for casting Ultima and killing all the monsters, while Rikku and Auron received exactly zero.

That sounds more like I was remembering.  Is the awarded experience divided between the acting characters, or is it, uh, 'duplicated' for each acting characters?

For example: let's say killing Monster X gets you 100 XP.  Does using Tidus AND Wakka earn them each 50, or each 100?

They each get 100.

I don't know if there's BONUS XP, per se, but having everyone do something, even that useless crabass kimahri, effectively multiplies the XP you get for every single battle.

So basically 15%-100% total experience.

So yeah the constant rotation thing makes a difference.

PS If you really want to blow through the game, then two words: Petrification Sword.

But the beautiful thing about forum threads is that they can be perused at your leisure or preserved for future reference, so Norondor gets a sleep aid and the rest of us get something to read.  Post it already.

If everyone that sentiment applied to actually followed your advice, there'd be none of us left.

So hey I'm playing Final Fantasy IX.

Isn't it wonderful how worthless Trances are? I just started up the Ice Cavern, and I've had three non-scripted Trances already; Zidane went into Trance mode against the Evil Forest boss right as the final blow was landed, and then both Vivi AND Steiner went SSJ at the same time against a handful of mook monsters.

Steiner going Trance is pretty much "You win this fight"

Zidane's trance list is pretty stupid long, all but two of them are just "Hellacrazy damage", which peak out at 9999 pretty early on.

So, Cloud.  His name is Cloud, and his memories are foggy.  Deep.

What he's trying to say is that if Steiner's going Trance you had probably already won the fight already, now you have to watch a bunch of crazy shit special effects to move on.

Steiner's trance is not as awesome as like, Zidane's.  And regardless, frog drop just wins anyway since it can do the most damage.  C'mon now.
