Big fan of this game, have never done a run where I avoided experience.
I haven't even got Ifrit yet, I just started and went ahead and stocked some magic up before I went to bed last night.
From what I can tell, the biggest hurdle I'm going to have in this run, is managing GF AP.
Is there like some formula that everyone typically follows to maximize their AP points, while avoiding EXP? I've got them set to learn their element refine ability first, but I'm considering switching Ramuh-Bird to learn Card first.

DUDE
Killing enemies with GFs doesn't give you XP, just AP. Same with card ability.

Well you picked by far the easiest game to do it in.

I can smell your unemployment through my screen.

Dude cut your fucking toenails

"Cheater" way
>Run from all battles except Ifrit
>Rush to Dollet
>Kill off Zell and Squall
>Grind AP with Seifer
>Learn whatever junctions you want.
>Specifically Card from Quetz
>When you're done, res squall and zell and continue with the game
>Whenever you want to grind, or fight mandatory battles use Card to kill
Some stuff you need to use Break because it's immune to card.

I never did a no level up run, the closest was finishing the game at level 25 which was good enough for me.
If i remember well beating enemies with break is the safest choice, not sure how you could get it this early though..

I was just literally thinking about doing that.
>I remember Seifer even has a speech ready to declare all the experience belongs to him during that segment
>>3890690
Either Card or Break magic (petrifying enemies won't give you EXP as far as I remember)

>Kill off Zell and Squall
Just bear in mind that the battle meter you acquire from Cid keeps score of how many times your allies have been KO'd. If you're a perfectionist, that might tarnish your save file.

Majority of my runs involve keeping Squall at the brink of death for constant limit breaks, so it's just part of the game for me.
