Showing a way to get EXP fast I got off GameFAQs. Since it needs EX, I couldn't do it with Feral Chaos to get...yep, the ability to use EX, but it still was damn useful for Prishe and Gilgamesh, who I needed on a higher level for the last two Reports.
For this method, you need to create an Original Rule like this:
Initial Stage Bravery - 1000
Critical Hit Rate - 1000
Critical Hit Damage - 1000
EX Core Appearance Rate - 4
EX Core Absorption - 700
EX Force Absorption - 0
EX Mode Duration - 120
Wall Rush Damage - 200
Bravery Bonus - -100
EX Revenge Duration - 10
with the rest intact. This way, critical hits are insanely strong and EX Mode and EX Revenge are really long, plus one EX Core is enough to go EX.
Then you face a Gabranth in Free Battle, like this:
Map - Edge of Madness
Opponent Strength - Set to Maximum (9)
Opponent Level - Set to 100
Opponent Type - Set to Extreme (7)
Rules - Set to "EXP Grinder" (7)
Judgment - Keep at current setting (None)
The strategy's simple, wait on the only place where EX Cores will appear (the throne), with your EX Gauge full. Wehn Gabranth attacks, use EX Revenge, then grab the Core and turn into EX Mode, using an HP attack then your EX Burst. Rinse and repeat. However, it requires more timing than I have so I didn't do it all correct. Nonetheless it worked just fine.
This, of course, works better using the three EXP-boosting Chocobo items and during the Bonus Day. I only used two (Down and Wing), and wasn't on my Bonus Day, so it's not used to its fullest. Oh, and I kinda died with Gil.
The levels can be seen at the end of the fight, while Gabranth was Level 100, at maximum strength and extreme type.
