ROTDS beta testing

World of Ruin;
Tell me if this is a planned progression of power. I had hell of a time on the Floating Continent from Ultima, Kefka, Zeemis, the timer battles with the cannot-run battles and then Raditz...
Even with just Tifa, I had to save between every battle.
But once I got Ronan again my levels seemed to skyrocket pretty quickly and most of them were from the 'easier' dudes once you take the boat. I gained about 10 levels and the Fiagro-Castle boss where 'Snakes' joins the party seemed almost too easy. When Otis rejoins me he was merely level 22 (less then 1000 HP, everyone else had over 2000. Kinda funny). The boss before the airship also went down pretty fast.

I don't really mind the power leveling and having random encounters be easy but the boss' power didn't seem to scale. I think you said you boosted the XP reward for the WoB but I'm feeling too powerful at the moment and I wasn't even grinding.
