What part are you up to? I just beat Giruvegan; all of my characters are 50+ with about 23 Mob Hunt Missions done and most of the Licensing board filled.
Main characters are Basch, Baltheir, and Fran. Basch is the tank using an Axe/Hammer, Baltheir is Theif/Healer (Gun), Fran is Healer/Fighter (Bow). I also throw Ashe in there with Healer/Support using the Katana.
How long did it take you to fill the licensing board? I am thinking of trying to cheese the game early on by filling the board up fighting easy enemies for points... (And yeah, I know it will take a while, but I am the type that loves to put hundreds of hours into FF games.)

I'm about 60 hours into the game. I've done a lot of farming, so it's been done relatively quick. In the Stillshrine of Miriam, after you get the Stone of the Condemner from the priest outside of Mt. Bur-Omisace, you can teleport to an area to fight an Esper. After you defeat him (which is not that easy BTW, can't use any magic so you better either have a lot of ethers or your license board filled up where you gain MP after taking/dealing damage)) and come back to that area, you can steal/kill the enemeies there for Bloody Darkened Bones that sell for approximately 1500 gil a pop. It's relatively easy to get 99 of them if you chain your kills, leave then come back, and continue with the chain. It's a great way to net 140,00+ gil.
Also, the Golden Amulet accessory Doubles LP, so I equip that on all my characters when farming, and when leveling I equip the Embroidered Tippet on my party characters which gives Double XP.
Also, the proper Gambit system makes things monumentally automated and easier. I have the following system setup.
Baltheir (Healer/Theif)
01) Ally Any (Phoenix Down)
02) Ally HP < 20% (X-Potion)
03) Ally HP < 40% (Curaga)
04) Ally Any (Esuna)
05) Enemy (Dispelga)
06) Enemy HP = 100% (Steal)
07) Self MP < 10% (Charge)
08) Enemy HP = 100% (Attack)
09) Enemy Lowest HP (Attack)
10) Ally HP < 90% (Regen)
11) Self (Haste)
Basch (Tank)
01) Ally Any (Phoenix Down)
02) Ally HP < 20% (X-Potion)
03) Self (Decoy)
04) Self (Protect)
05) Self MP < 10% (Charge)
06) Enemy Lowest HP (Attack)
07) One Ally (Protect)
08) Self (Haste)
09) Self (Libra)
Fran (Healer/Fighter)
01) Ally Any (Phoenix Down)
