Should I grind out my limit breaks?

[Ueki420]

Just finished Disc 1 (part 1) and I was wondering if I should just grind out everyone's limit breaks (I have to get everyone to level 4 for the achievements) or should I just keep playing?

it's more of a yes/no answer. I did so when I got the lvl 4 limits I could use them right away. You can pick them up over the course of the game or do it before you finish the game so that the no. It really doesnt take long if to do so it comes down to if you want them now or later.

You might want to if it's bugging you. It really doesn't take long at all at places like Mythril Cave/Mt. Corel where groups of 4 or 5 enemies are common.

Sure, it is easier to get limit breaks while you have a lower max HP. If you do want to max at least someone's Limit, max Aeris's limit breaks.

You should grind out Aeris' limit break for story and Beta reasons. The others can wait, as you're going to be doing plenty of grinding for AP later in the game.

What I did was, wait until you get the Highwind. Use Mythril Cave by Fort Condor for kills and use Cactuar Island + Manipulate Materia + Fury status to use limit breaks in order to unlock the next one.

Use manipulate on the cactuar and then cast 1,000 Needles on the person you're training and when you use the limit break on the cactuar, you'll have to use manipulate again. Also, you can make the cactuar cast 1,000 Needles as soon as the manipulate status wears off. Just cast it on the character when they're using their limit break, you don't lose a turn.

(For Mythril Cave, make sure you got Matra Magic on the Enemy Skil Materia or the Slash All Materia. Makes it a lot easier to kill them all at one time. Fury allows your limit bar to fill faster. It's also good to equip materia on the character you're trying to teach a new limit to with materia that decreases their HP when fighting cactuars, makes it go up faster the lower their max HP is.)
