All the way up to 99, hey? That must've taken a while. I think I leveled Al up to 99 on about 6 or so occasions in Zio's Fort , playing on hyperspeed. Still took me a while though. Granted, the damage Alys pulled off was pretty impressive.
Now, if you had hacked the game like I did, Alys equipped with the Elsydeon in one hand and a Moonslasher in the other ( she has to be equipped with at least one slasher in the hacking weapon slot ), the damage could have been anything between 600-750 dmg with Vortex.
I think I'll send you some screens via a PM. I had a ton of fun with it.
If you interested in hacking the game, just download HexWorkshop from the net, and find the save-state hacking guide at pscave.com. It will give all the character offsets, stats, weapon slots and skill and tech slots. This means you can give any character any tech at all.
Looks like I've gone off topic. Anyway, well done, man.
Long live Alys/Alis!
