Welll...
Final Fantasy VIII.
I leveled up EVERYTHING: All my party members, summons, I acquired every card for Triple Triad, I did every sidequest, I got every item; anything you can think of, I did it. What can I say? it was my first FF game ever and I was really into it.
Other than that, I can't think of anything else. I suppose Kingdom Hearts 1, 2 and CoM (GBA) count too, since everyone's mentioning that too and they're half RPGs.
Really, it's not like I haven't tried. I tried leveling up to the max with FFIX but I got impatient and I just finished the game at around lv. 65. Then I tried with FFXII but there-are-just-so-many-freakin'-sidequests! So I just finished the game too.
I'm currently aiming to level up my Dragon Age: origins party to the max. I'm halfway there...
