I just discovered an abusable glitch in FF2 PSP

First, equip dual shields on all your guys. Have your guys attack with the shields over and over (it won't damage anyone). Before ending the battle, switch to the weapon you want to level up. (Go to the item menu and press up to change weapons mid-battle.)

How it works: The game seems to calculate two things at the end of battle - which weapon(s) you have equipped, and how many times you used the Attack command. It doesn't know which weapon you had at the time each attack took place.

They really shouldn't have allowed you to switch weapons mid-battle.  :lame:

It's only abusable if your weapon skill is 9 and your shield skill is, say, 2. Otherwise it's nothing special. :wink:

Actually it doesn't work that way, if your sword skill is 9 and your shield skill is 2, switching to sword won't help you get to 10 sword at a level 2 rate, it'll still treat it as its appropriate level.

The reason it's exploitable is because normally, you can't just hold down the button for as long as you please with any old weapon - even if you have two daggers equipped fighting red jellies, eventually you're gonna kill them via crits. However, you never kill them with shields equipped, so as long as the enemy doesn't run away, you can tape the x button down for 2-3 minutes while you rack up the points, and it only takes about 30 minutes to max out a skill at 16 on four characters - or about 4 hours to max out all 8 skills on all four characters this way.

That can definitely help to raise the skill level of weapons you may not even use. I suppose for the fists then, you'd unequip both shields and then win?

Yup, you can also do two weapons at the same time, for example, switch the shields out with a knife and a javelin and get points towards both weapons (I think it goes up half as fast for each weapon if you only have one of each though) - obviously this won't work with the bow or fists since you need both hands to use both those weapon types (well, you can equip a fist and a shield but that's the only type you can dual wield with fists)
