Gil versus Exp

Skyblade · 03-30-2008, 04:20 AM

What do you guys do with your Exp at the end of each level? Do you choose to level up Vincent's stats, or switch it to Gil for weapon upgrades? It seems that to get the high level weapons (especially the Ultima Weapon), you need to convert nearly all of your Exp into money, but I'm interested into how you guys ustilize it through the game.

I take the EXP until I reach Arch Azul, then spend a while damaging and losing to him. Each time you die you get to take the gil and do the fight over again. When I have enough money I move on and start taking EXP again.

I dislike death too much to use that strategy, but thanks for sharing it.

I must ask, I do not fully understand... does leveling up make your enemies more challenging?? Or just you?

Levelling up makes Vincent more durable. The enemies are the same regardless of his level.

Good to hear!

I prefer to take the EXP. There's usually enough Gil to be found in each level to buy the necessary ammo and potions, and since I tend to play only the Extra Hard mode, I've usually got some Gil or sellable items on hand from previous playthroughs.
