Can someone explain how do you play the game without leveling up?

[Jordy]

To level up your GF, you need to fight right? So how?

[Koby]

Enemies scale with your level, so leveling up just makes things harder.

You prevent leveling by using the "Card" ability.

Can you specify what ability is that? Sorry. I'm new to FFVIII but I would like to know.

when you have seifer in your party give him every summon and all your magic, kill off zell and squall then use him to grind for awhile.

cards can be turned into items that can be turned into magic, so play lots of cards and you can get some strong magic like the tornado and some of the GA lvl spells

the GF quetzacotl has an ability called card, it turns monsters into cards, doing this makes them give no XP

after learning card quetzacotl also has an ability called card mod which turns the cards into items that can be turned into magic through magic refine abilities

Oh. So I thought that cards in this game are only for triple triad.

dont forget to gain lvl.dwn ability to lower enemies' levels if needed

and remember, there are three tiers of enemies reflecting the level of enemies and the higher tier/level, the better loot, so lowlevel playing isnt much fun at all... play it like any other RPG
