Okay, so I'm still playing FFVIII....
Some of my other strategies include:
8. Knocking out all my characters, except the one I want to level up at the time.
I did this early on, after the 1st mission before Squall (main character) becomes a SeeD.... I wanted Diablos early, so I could Mug enemies, especially the bosses at the end of Disc 1.
Since it's pretty early, the only bonuses you can get are maybe Strength & Magic Bonus, so that's what I equip.
Later on, before/after the Galbadia mission, where Irvine joins, & being in prison, there are other bonuses you can equip like Spirit & HP Bonus.... If you have Rosetta Stone handy, you can equip up to 4 Bonuses at a time.
9. Using a Pocket Station to level up Boko, so he can kick some butt if you don't wanna level up per se! (& grab items, hack with Rewrite ID, if you don't have a good ID, so you can have a better chance at obtaining rare items;
In order to hack with Rewrite ID, you have to have a PS2 that can be hacked. I used a brand new PS2 memory card, which is cheap now, & the Sony Memory Card Adaptor for PS3 with the Noobie Package for Free McBoot, I believe it's called. Worked like a charm & believe it works on both Windows & Linux.... Finding the files can be a little mini-adventure, but it's worth it & they can be secured.)
The Pocket Station is purely optional, but it was classic, as my Mom was quite curious about the device. She asked me if it were a phone & whether I get calls on it. It was absolute rofl, but her idea was not bad.... I didn't laugh at her, though.... (I mean, that's my Mom after all & hey she plays games on her NDS.)
