Just raise your evasion to 16 - 99% and no physical attack will hit you once = game becomes incredible easy.

You can then lower the challenge of the game greatly.

As well as what rubah mentioned, you can also cast HEAL on an unaffected party member for a +1 increase.

This would be the best way to go about it

Casting spells outside of battle counts for leveling? That seems odd somehow. :/

There were still a few challenging portions but I think they made it much more enjoyable by stepping down the difficulty.
Sure, a challenge is nice, but not when it drives you to the point of pure frustration. Why bother playing a game that does that?

Toad and Mini make this game pathetically easy.

Beema and Crimsom, this thread is a bit too old. Let it wash away. If you wish to discuss this topic further, you can always make a new thread.
