What level should my party be for the final boss? (Spoiler Free)

[Same]

I just found out the final boss is level 90 after i went through the cutscene, lost my healer, and panicked like hell when i saw the boss' level, and realised I no longer could heal my party from the beginning of the fight.

Sorta depends on how many battle-ready characters you're bringing along. With the half-dozen or so you've mentioned in other threads, I figure you should be ok within around the 70 range.

Any particular reason you only have "a healer"? By now all the story characters you're using should be able to heal themselves...

I never really bothered giving all of my characters healing spells cause I've never actually beat the game before, back on hte PS2 when i was younger i didn't understand the game's mechanics well enough, so I didn't know I'd lose my healer at the end. I'm currently running item world stuff to level my gear for Larharl, Etna, Pleinair, my Ninja, and Vyers (I'm using NCP) Who are all in the level range of 55-73 atm.

Then get a healer. It will take a while to level up but you will need it's healing skills. Once it has a good level and equipment to survive (you might want to grind/farm a bit, it's Disgaea after all) you should get a good support unit.

Even better, since you seem to want to use mostly story characters, get a healer pupil to several other characters and teach them healing spells. They won't be as effective as pure healers (I think healing amount is INT-based), but you won't need to level up another non-story character.

If you do decide to level a cleric as a backup healer, I'd suggest creating a mage, leveling it to level 20 or 40 (to get decent spells) and then transmigrating into a (preferably genius) cleric. You'll get a decent stat boost, and it will be much easier to level the cleric if it starts out with attack spells.

BTW, clerics learn their final healing spell on level 50. For a full list, check the "5.05.01 Magic" section in this FAQ[www.gamefaqs.com]

I just finished defeating him. Just got my team to 75 and maxed my items by rushing them with my ninja in the item world.

I don't want to sound a little mean,but I doubt many people who haven't played this for a long time would've thought about that.Hell I didn't realise that the whole mentor-pupil mechanic was a thing until I randomly read about it online when I was halfway through the story.
You can't expect people with close to no experience to think about that,especially when Flonne without a cleric pupil for other healing spells still is fairly strong.The way you put it comment sounds like teaching the story characters healing abilities it's common sense,which I might be wrong but I think it's not.If I'm still here,why do you consider having story characters with healing abilities is such a great thing?I had no issues with just Flonne and a Cleric(that cleric being her pupil).

Light's answer to my question may well've been "I don't know how to give story characters healing spells" for all I knew. I'd've simply taken that as an opening to explain that system to him, as something he would've been able to do immediately in order to greatly boost his chances in that last fight.

But yeah, for anyone who knows how, it's absolutely common sense to ensure that every "useful" character in their team is able to at least run off and administer their own emergency first aid. That's kinda Turn Based Strategy 101.

I get that now.I kind of think that it's going to be more useful later on when you can easily level up clerics in order to easily have everyone learn the best healing spell easily though.I'll try to do that when I at least get one character to level 200.
There's also food that can heal you up too though,even though it's fairly limited limited as the inventory it's minuscule.I think that food might be enough to get through the story if you don't go to the item world often until you finish it,as you will only have to use it during boss fights if your healer(s) died or ran out of mana.
