I used to power level, but that isn't necessarily what I do these days. I do try and find all secret items and such, but I don't really over level myself in RPGs until after the boss fight. I played Final Fantasy VII about a year ago, and for the first time, I beat both Emerald and Ruby Weapons, and managed to acquire all three master materia. I didn't cap my levels, but I really wanted to say that I'd finally beat those ultimate bosses that I never could beat when I was younger.
