Experience Points

In all RPGs, characters are further enhanced by gaining Experience Points (a.k.a. EXP). Between games, gaining experience points can vary. Some games will offer points for every attack, while some will reward you after battle. In some other games, like Final Fantasy X, experience points are replaced with Ability Points. Experience Points generally grant the character a level up when they reach 100 of them. In some games, the amount of experience points needed to gain the next level with increase as the character levels up. You may start with a measly 100 points to level up to Level 2, but by the end of the game, you are looking at numbers in the thousands, if not higher.
