Usually no, unless I get my ass kicked by that boss on several attempts, then I would go back and level up till I beat the boss. But I rarely had any problems with bosses so far in most RPGs that I play.

2) Do you level your guys up so they can fight the boss on more “equal” footing, but still have some difficulty?

I don't mind some challenge, so it's either I get ireally mpatient levelling up or I just try my luck. I did that with one of the Weapons in FFVII (I think it was the one in the dessert..Ruby correct?) and I was lucky enough to win that battle. In FFVIII I really had to do some planning against Omega Weapon though.

3) Do you level only certain party members in which ever RPG you might be playing, or do you go the full nine yards and get everyone maxed out?
|
Usually I'll just concentrate on my main party, although FFX was an exception since you could switch party members in battle (which I adore so much). Even then, I just had a few strong ones (Tidus, Auron, Yuna, and Wakka) as my powerhouses at the end of the game. I rarely dislike characters in an RPG, but when I do (like Irvine in FFVIII) I just dump them aside to rot.

4) What RPG do you recall has having the longest time spent on pure leveling up? Alright, running to the local town to restock supplies you can count, as long as it’s mainly just raising the level of your characters?

Should be a close call between FFVII and FFVIII, since I played those two when I was younger and had tons of time after school. I had my main characters levelled up to level 99 for both games just to go against the weapons. I didn't bother levelling up much with recent games like Star Ocean III, Grandia III, and SH:C.

5) Do you normally level up in every RPG you play? By that - ie grinding like an over-worked bitchy mom.

Nope, it gets tiring fighting over and over again, so I usually just swift through my way if I don't get into trouble.
How ya doing, buddy?
