Should I bother farming levels?

This will be my second time trying the game, and I felt overwhelmed with trying to overlevel my guys the first time. Do I need to do this? If I just continue the story and sidequests will they stay about the right level the whole time?

only 2 times in the game ye have to grind. after you get your first ship and then again like some point a little further then the rest of the game is smooth sailing

In Hamelin I kicked on a podcast and listened to that for awhile to prep some lightning creatures for the boss in the city. After that, haven't had to worry, might be over leveled lol.

Hihi! I just started playing Ni No Kuni! I finally bought it during this Lunar New Year sale and I'm so glad I bought it! I'm happy lots of fun with it!

When I first started with Oliver only, i made sure to level him up to 4; I am deadass sure I will be dead if I did not level him up and proceed as level 1 in the forest (Father Oak) and facing the mobs & boss

Currently I'm at Hamelin (40 hours in), when meeting Shadar for the first time, I was already level 31, (i read online most of them were around level 25) so just want to say its okay to overlevel, if anything, it really makes your game easier teehee - few whacks and Shadar is 50% down

We all know, (God) Tokos makes grinding sooo much easier, I was lvl 35 when i stepped in ugly ducking isle, met a few Tokos and I am at level 45 already, I feel very ready to proceed

Thank you for your time, if anything, be at least 25 when meeting Shadar, and when you got your ship, anytime if you feel underleveled, just visit some Toko (make sure to aim at it and hit it first to guarantee xp!)
