Do you also farm LP before Royal Palace?

Yesterday after a long time of not playing games at all, I spent 4 hours playing FF - by grinding LP like a madman in Easternsand and XP in Westernsand (though I forgot what Firefly does to Penelope - oops).

I got major passive abilities for Knight Vaan lvl15 and Archer Penelo lvl6.

Do any of you also like to grind on 4x speed before Royal Palace?
