Okay so I have been playing through this game yet again.

I have discovered on my recent travels that through the game that leveling up a lot at the start of the game is super helpful later on.

For example, leveling up early to fight the ochu in the forest so people think your a hero, making early bosses easier to fight.

Actually killing the chocobo eater instead of having to get pushed over the edge. All this things are a plus when it comes to leveling up early, it just makes it a little easier to get things started instead of having to do so much work during the end.

I'm sure someone else has tried this? Opinions?
