Two years later, and it still amazes me what The Man has done.
I have managed to level up my characters till their maximum level in FFI, FFIV, FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII (not that it's actually a good thing, but...), almost in FFIX and FF Mystic Quest.
I also done it in other games such as Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana.
Wow it seems like you have no life, but seriously that took a lot of time

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
Being the perfectionist that I am, I almost always max out my characters. The first time I did this was with FF4. In FF6, I went as far as to teach all the spells to everyone. Strago knew all of the Lores, and Gau knew most of the Rages you can get without codes.
My obsessive behavior has gone downhill from there. Though it requires a tremendous time investment, I like to max out all the jobs and learn all the spells.
I leveled up all of my characters in FF8 to level 100, though I somewhat resent the fact that I forevermore had to keep death immunity on my junctions--100 is a multiple of five, so if you leave yourself vulnerable to Level 5 Death...!
I never did beat Omega Weapon without abusing the heck out of Heros/Holy Wars, though.
