You can just ignore most battles entirely and there will be no downside to that at all.
No experience points?

Nope. Your HP is increased by finding HP + 5 items, mostly through little sidequests or hidden around the stages. There are no other stats as attack is determined by the sticker being used, and stickers are single use only so there's not much point to a magic system. Its a little odd.

The sticker system itself is fairly fun, but I feel it could've used some more motivation to battle, if only to increase HP.

The instruction manual itself suggests standing outside an inn and spamming magic to level it up. Doesn't sound like fun to me.
The best spot to level the girl's magic is outside the wind temple, as your weapons are drawn but you have a heal point right there. You level up at twice the rate if your weapons are drawn.

Wow I did not know that, thanks Popo. I may actually make it through this game now. At least the story is straight forward enough that I don't forget what is going on, so coming back to it now shouldn't be a problem.

Brought my dreamcast on my deer valley ski trip, been playing skies of arcadia next to the fire every evening after skiing. Its been quite an expierience, i love it something about it really reminds me of panzer dragoon saga. We need more rpg's with air combat. Im 23 hours in and im still on disc one 0.o, so glad this one isnt as short as PDS.

Just picked up Dark Souls the other day.

I'm a bit miffed as to where I am supposed to go at times, and parrying is a bit of bitch, and death is common, but its very fun.

Prepare to die... yeppers.
