lol, a couple things I'd suggest in fighting to get more EXP:
- Follow your chocobo. If he is saying the next battle will bring you some big EXP multiplier, put a chocobo feather on. It will add 100% to whatever you gain in the battle, making thei ncrease crazy huge.
- Use a lot of different tactics in battle. It seems like the EXP system is based on the diversity of one's performance, instead of just winning like in the FF games. Don't rely on the same one or two attacks, spread it out a bit and you should get more of a result.
- And if your EX Gauge is full, use it! It is always a great boost to your performance.
Good luck, Nikki!
