Level grind before the level grind...

[Kaiichi]

For then next 2 level breaks, can we farm items or do a long quest or anything? My whole family plays (- mom) and we all find it really teeeeeeeedous to have to get merits (that are not going into abilities) just to break limit.

The grinding before grinding needs to go. And honestly, yeah, I'd rather farm.

(And before you do it I know your gonna do it...)

[Laciante]

yeah, I'd like something other than get X seals and X merits - the original 60-75 Limit Breaks had us going to get special items and ended with a fight with a badass
While it's possible there will be more in the future, It's prolly not likely (who's ever heard of a FF that has a level cap higher than 100?) so lets finish this up with something cool and creative, SE...

Maat and Degenhard BCNM vs YOU! No subjob of course.

Doubt it'll be done, but this actually does sound pretty fun. Sound like it'll be awful for SMN (maybe a few other jobs, too) though.

NO IT DOES NOT!! This is a fear I've had for a while. Give me G4, 6, 7, and 8 over 5 ANY day. For the most part, limit breaks are just annoying and time consuming, but G5 is a while different animal that leads to more frustration and people quiting than any other thing in the game. I wasn't even going to post in this thread til I found this comment that could make this game an even bigger nightmare for years to come.

Wow.. the OP is complaining that it takes a hour to get the required merits.. a whole hour! So teeeeedious!

Now mythic weapons.. those are teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedious!

LOL, you shouldn't complain about getting merits now. Merits in the old FF were much more tedious than now!

How about we just get our level caps done quickly and effortlessly and they add more productive content -outside- of the stupid mandatory quest?

What is up with people wanting the most pointless things to be overly complicated. Its a limit break, not an AF quest or Storyline Mission - there is absolutely no reason for it to be so complicated you have to have a bunch of people do it, nor is there a reason for it to be some frustrating fetch quest.

The reason SE made it merits and crests is because you'd be getting them going to Abyssea anyway -- so you can do things you actually want to do -- finish the Genkai and then get back to do things you actually want to do. The quests are nothing but distractions. Let's have them be simple and get them over with so we can do something ELSE.

As it stands, a merit takes like 30 seconds to get in any decent Dominion ops party. There's no reason that should be frustrating to anyone.

[Malamasala]

There are people who have somewhere to place their merits?

I've been capped out on them since months. Though I do not leech all jobs to 90 to get more merit categories.
