Where are you?

I play it, too.
Actually my characters are around Level 40 except for Ashe. She's Level 50 cause she's always the group leader. I love running around with her. But I like Balthier and Fran, too.
But in FF XII I miss the character design of Testuya Nomura. His characters were the best.

There's just so much to do!

Phew. Lovely 300+ hours with fun, sadness, anger and happiness. For a few months those characters became my friends. I hated that it had to end. I still play sometime...although im around lvl 77 I think *thinks* idk.

I CHECK OK?

it says lvl 79 (5x) and lvl 78
Killing the ultimate monster in progress....umm I have secret special weapons and such oh! too much to do indeed!! I have achieved many things...which I must keep a secret.

good luck and have TONS of fun!!

Gosh... I started playing it but now I'm stuck! I lose all the time! And I hate this battle system. But it seems to me a nice game in general.

A friend of mine got stuck there and had to restart... no joke.

Isn't there a save crystal like right there by you.
Fight a couple soldiers, go touch crystal to heal. repeat.
it's that or restart... have your pick.

or, if you happened to make a save kind of recently before entering the laboratory, I'd restart there and just train fora while..
That's the trick in FF games, you have to TRAIN/LEVEL UP....

I looked in my guide and it says you should be fighting Dr. Cid on that floor. The thing about leveling up later in the game is it's never easy or quick. I run into that all the time in Final Fantasy. If your not ready to fight Cid yet you can either restart or you can go straight into the fight here's some info on the fight...

Dr. Cid: Lv. 40 HP:72,989
Helm Rook: Lv. 38 HP:9,859

Dr. Cid has 4 floating mechanical Rooks protecting him. These are probaly the toughest boss minions you've faced so far. It's very difficult to inflict dmg. to Cid when the Rooks are active, so ignore the dr and focus your full fury on his minions. You can also target one central Rook (not Dr. Cid!) with a Quickening chain and hope that the follow-up area attack seriously weakens the other three. In any case, you MUST take out the Rooks before you can have a chance going after Cid. The Rooks will cast Protect, Regan, and Reflect on Cid, so don't use any Black Magick.

Once the last Rook falls, you'll be in much better shape, even if your party looks depleted. Cid is powerful but quite slow, so you have time to sling Cure spells, use potions, Charge up your MP, or use whatever gambit routine has been successful thus far. Try to get the entire party up above 1000 HP as soon as possible, because Cid unleashes a powerful attack that knocks a lot of HP out of everyone.

You don't actually have to knock Cid's HP down to zero to win this fight. When his HP bar drops low enough, a new ally jumps into the fray and finshes off this battle. (Last three paragraphs from offical guide).

From what I rememeber when I did this fight was trying to get all party members to attack the Rooks can be quite frustrating. So I would set everyones attack gambit to the one that they attack the enemy the leader is hacking at. I don't rememeber much from my fight (it's been so long), but the Rooks are tough! (The second Cid fight-closer to the end, is actually much easier).

If any of this doesn't help, check gamefaq. There's usually a low-lv guide there. Also for this battle cast Haste! And if your main healer isn't healing and attacking away take over the role. For when Cid unleashes his attack on everyone, the way to avoid it the best is get as far away from Cid as you can! Hope this helps!
