@cavedweller2000 basically... the majority of 2 enemies per battle... 144,816 Battles is actually at least 20 times that of the blood lust trophy 🏆 but 20 hours is barely scratching the surface
I did the maths To get into level 99 you need 6.633.167 experience points Looks like each enemy encounter gives 23 xp If every battle takes around 1 minute aproximately (including the time to encounter another random enemy, the fight itself and the victory celebration), then... 6.633.167 / 23 = 288398 battles and minutes So it took around 4806 hours, or 200 days playing time to reach level 99
You do realise that the majority of those battles were 46 experience with 2 enemies... 1817 hours took me almost 4 months the encounter was very responsive Inside the 2nd area
I know... I finished it... it was more than a test of patience... but a test of insanity... I need a super hot gym looking cutie shrink to assess my mental state... she might be intrigued... who knows ❤️
Damage and core stats are based of your equipment more than LV, essentially while going LV99 here still makes you very OP, as a result of lacking equipment he is very far from the highest stat you can achieve in this game.
The objective wasn't the stats, the whole point was to get to level 99 regardless of anything else. Everything else was secondary, even the excalibir 2 was impossible to obtain with this grind
@joyjoy-et-bertran3510 I'm the only person on the planet or rather at least on RUclips who has come forward and completed the challenge. In terms of your comment you would be correct. If this was a Trophy, it would put PlayStation gamers completely our of a job... assuming the patience most of them have 👍
@icnavio not hard... Come back to me when you've beaten Doom 2016 on Ultra Nightmare... Final Fantasy 6 & 7 was a test of patience of 321 hours & 410 hours to do each one... Final Fantasy 9 at 1817 hours in a course of 4 - 5 months was holding not just your wad... but your insanity for that long... even the when the colours change 5 more times on the clock before staying green indefinitely but that's only 600 hours...
If you want a strong team, you should never level up until you get some pieces of equipement with bonus, not attack, defense, evade, magic defense and magic evade but strength, speed, magic and spirit. Every bonus point in one stat act like a "fragment" of a total point and give a bonus in this stat when "completed" (total is 32 fragments, in my memory). So a good "start" is with the forged Glass Buckle in Lindblum. To have a LVL99 Zidane at the very begining of the game give you a weakest LVL99 character than if he was a LVL60 trained character.
@methexis9934 everything you have just said is completely pointless.... the idea was to get to level 99 no matter what the stats are, even the Excalibur 2 is impossible to obtain because of the clock tower... that was not the target....

I did the maths
To get into level 99 you need 6.633.167 experience points
Looks like each enemy encounter gives 23 xp
If every battle takes around 1 minute aproximately (including the time to encounter another random enemy, the fight itself and the victory celebration),
then... 6.633.167 / 23 = 288398 battles and minutes
So it took around 4806 hours, or 200 days playing time to reach level 99
