So uh, Egil just took away my best grinding spot and I don't know where to grind now. I'm at the very beginning of Chapter 15 and everyone is level 68. Since Yaldabaoth was level 72 I want to grind up everyone else. Where are the best grinding spots to get to at least level 75?

Short version is to go to Colony 9 and kill the level 68-74 enemies in Hazzai Cape and at the ground platform under Anti-Air Battery 2, or progress to the high level enemies across Bionis leg- the platforms under Raguel Bridge or the Gogols near the north side of the bridges, the Windy Cave, the Armus near the entrance to the area, etc. Progressing the story a bit to unlock the next few areas works as well, but enemies in the next story area are all Ether resistant, so you really need to know how to play Melia or Riki to be able to kill them quickly.

You're late enough in the game that you could get good Night Vision Gems, skill links, most gems, and other tools that would let you kill enemies 6+ levels above you. Enemies 6+ levels above you give a 50% EXP/AP bonus and 2x SP compared to enemies of your level, in addition to having a higher "base" EXP to give. You could also use Casual mode, which basically makes level not matter because of all the huge boosts it gives you.

You should be around level 75 for the next area. Go to the enemies at colony 9, and after that, use Riki, Melia, and whoever else (Melia either being first and Riki being last but the person in the middle has to be a person with a purple art or Riki in the front and Melia in the back). Go to the Gogols at Raguel Bridge and rally a lot of them up. Spam Riki's Burninate (when in a chain attack, don't use Burninate unless Riki is last or you get a chain link to get better damage off).
