Best leveling tip I've found is to get requiem for Elwyen before you go to sauls dungeon. Once there, you can spam it and train weak party members easily, got all characters to level 25 in less than 6 hours.
I've always considered this to be the best RPG I've ever played, even with respect to such greats as the Final Fantasy games, Zelda, Chrono, etc. No other game quite blends humour and story with such in depth character development and very 'sharp' game mechanics that at once keep it both challenging and fun. Since then, only Tales of Symphonia has dethroned this game in my books (as I hadn't played it as a child and only recently found it), however it still holds top 2 easily and often I come back to it and reevaluate my personal list. I will never take back my 5 star rating, this game is bloody amazing.
