Not sure if this has been said before, but I discovered this just now and wanted to share it. (I've been lurking for a while so may as well use the opportunity to register)

When using the EXP trick with x5 bonus, plus all chocobo accessories and lvl 100 opponent, after you finish the battle, return to the battle menu and immediately shutdown your psp. (hard shutdown by holding power button for 3 secs).

edit: you don't have to completely shutdown, you can just quit the game by using the home button and returning to the XMB. The main thing is not to do anything else to further save your game.

When you turn your psp back on, the levels you gained as well as summons and breaks will be the same as after the battle but the next exp bonus will be back on x5. Even though you only get magic pot for 2 fights, you can still gain lots of exp by doing hp attacks and using other summons like carbuncle, omega, odin, ultimate weapon etc.

nice trick. Personally, I didn't know about this, so I may use this.. :P

Thanks for the info.

I personally find a complete PSP shutdown to be very tedious, especially seeing as I can get to level 100 in about 8 fights without a Chocobo Bonus.

But with this trick and Kraken selected as your second summon after Magic Pot resets, you can get 4 characters to level 100 in 4 battles. :)

I don't find getting to level 100 to be such a problem that I must get people to level 100 in 1 battle though. The setup is far too convoluted for me to care, when I can have just a quick a time overall without the buildup to the 5x chocobo bonus.

Well, instead of shutting your psp down everytime, you can just exit the game, into the XMB menu.

That's what I do too. Going back to PSP Home is good enough, no need to shut down.

hmm... i forgot about that. Ive not used my home button for ages.... normally i just shut my psp off completely. i'll edit first post so readers will know.

edit: Just realised this is an even bigger reason to have exp to HP/BRV/EX off as with this, you can now guarantee yourself a x5 bonus for each fight.
