Great training spots in FFIX?

[Zidane77]

I'll agree that the Grand Dragons are easier to level up using but the Yans are so much more effective, I wouldn't want to think about leveling up to level 99 using just the Grand Dragons or the Memoria monsters. Each Yan is worth 42,672 EXP and they rarely are without a group.

So three Yans means 42,672 x 3 = 128,016. If you have Level Up equipped you get 1.5x the EXP so now you're looking at 192,024. Of course with 4 members in your party you have to split up that EXP by 4 and you get 48,006 EXP if everyone has Level Up on and all 4 survive the battle. So implementing a virus or zombie status on 3 party members at a time and having one person gain 192,024 EXP per battle of three Yans is by far the best way to level up in my opinion.

Everyone dreads the Snort move because your character gets shot out of battle and yea that would be bad but with three people with virus hopefully that won't matter. My strategy is to have people that can inflict 9,999 to all the Yans attack after two have been hit with 9,999 damage or all of them have.

I have 5 people that can inflict 9,999 damage on a single character:
- Zidane (Thievery)
- Freya (Dragon Crest)
- Steiner (Shock)
- Vivi (Flare by bouncing Flare off of himself with Reflectx2 equipped)
- Quina (Limit Glove with an HP of 1)

I also have 2 people that can inflict 9,999 damage on all enemies:
- Garnet (Atomos - with Boost equipped and 99 Amethyst's)
- Steiner (Climhazzard)

With the option of Zidane using Soul Blade with the Masamune equipped to inflict Doom on a Yan and there is a very good chance of taking down the Yans in 2-4 character turns. The fast would be Steiner with Climmhazard then Garnet with Atomos and collect your EXP. Use any combination of all the other possible attacks and you are in very good shape to do some serious damage.

That works all and well but the counter is comet and snort so yeah if you're lucky it works (Against 3 that is).
