Easy EXP early in the Forest
After you kidnap Princess Garnet you crash and burn (literally) into a forest. Garnet is taken. Once Garnet is captured and you, Vivi and "Rusty" go out to find her. Take a moment and get 4950gil from the monsters. Then go back to the ship (Save) and talk to Cinna and purchase 99 potions. Go on, fight the evil plant boss, and you will be running away from hundreds of crawling plants. STOP!
Don't run away, stop and let them fight you. Attack them all and use potions as need be. When Vivi has first attack with groups of 4 use fire on all for a quick kill.
You can do this until you run out of potions, or get tired of it. I did it until level 10 and it makes the next part of the game so much easier.
