I can't wait to fight Omega this time, because i just fought Ultima and annihilated the hell out of him. Squall died once, Irvine twice, and i only cast Aura twice (each separately on two people). He was level 100, too

As for the experience scale? I don't think it makes you weaker, chief. You have to earn the same exp. to go up a level every time, though, that's what annoys me. It's far too easy for a character to get to level 100 on that scale.
