A few questions about leveling in Final Fantasy 6 [closed]

I'm close to the end in Final Fantasy 6, and need to farm a few characters up before facing Kefka.

But here's a few things I would like to know, making the process easier:

Is there an XP catchup mechanic? Thing like the lowest level character in the party gets more XP
Does a character that is Dead/Removed from the fight/Inflicted with things like Zombie not get XP?
Does the number of XP shown as gained at the end of the fight splitted between characters, or is it how much XP each character gained?

You most likely leveled "wrong".

FF6's leveling mechanic is interesting. It is of MASSIVE benefit to hit world of ruin as low level as possible (I've done it at level 7), obtain all characters, grab the end-game esper, and level with the esper equipped.

With this route, you basically end up with all magic users, and maybe a couple guys with max speed. This setup creates uber powerful characters though, and you will hit 9999 damage using just Fire/Ice/Lit 2. Edgar setup using max MAG will hit 9999 using Flash. Cure 1 will heal over 5k HP. Sabin's MAG based blitz (Aura Bolt, Fire Dance, Air Blade, Bum Rush surprisingly) will all hit 9999. I had Locke at max speed and he attacks about 5 times per one of my other characters. You can do so much damage with Ultima that it overflows and heals your enemies instead.

6 FF6 Had More Memorable MomentsScattered throughout the game are iconic scenes that every FF6 gamer will remember for life. While the death of Aerith in Final Fantasy 7 remains one of the big gaming shockers of all time, it can't compete against the volume of moments in its predecessor.

What makes Final Fantasy 6 so good?

Final Fantasy VI is one of the easiest games in the franchise, next to Final Fantasy XV, which is probably even more comfortable than the sixth one. However, the difficulty doesn't speak of its quality, which is excellent.
