About Me
I'm a proud mexican that plays videogames.

I currently study International Business, still don't know my major but I'll get back to you on this one.

Besides videogaming I do swimming and muay thai for fun.

Videogames are always fun, but it gets better if it's a RPG, Fighting, Horror Survival or Adventure. I'm currently playing The Orange Box.

Gaming’s Guilty Pleasures: Over-Leveling
Deftone | 1:29 AM on 04.30.2008 3 comments


When dealing with games where you level up and gain goodies, I'm a whore for over-leveling. I mostly do this on RPGs, I like exploring everything available up to the points where I am.

I guess this problem started on Chrono Trigger, when Masa and Mune owned me for a while I started leveling up, and then leveled up some more, raped them, then advanced more and over-leveled some more and by the time I realised all the bosses just flew like the wind.

This has its pros and cons, since sometimes games seem to easy and I don't enjoy em that much, but I guess that's just a tidbit I can pass. I can also thank harder modes for making over-leveling worthy sometimes.

I am underwhelmed by the length of this Gaming Guilty Pleasure but agree with the subject. I over-leveled on FFX to the point that the last two bosses, Sin and Seymour were a joke, though I believe Seymour is always a joke.

Over leveling is my favorite thing to do that is why S-RPG's are my favorite game to play you can over level stuff to an excessive point and clear a map in one turn with the right setup of characters. Nothing is more satisfying then overkilling weaklings with your most powerful attack when they take out your healer or a mage.

Yeah, I have a serious problem with overleveling in Final Fantasy Tactics on PSone. In fact, I'm still on chapter 3 and all of my guys are in their 90's now. I've never passed chapter 3, I am always tempted to powerlevel my guys on Mandalia Plains. Same thing for FFT:A on GBA (don't be hatin', the game's not that bad).
