Where to Level Now?

I might just seem like an angry troll but I'm just extremely passionate about this game I have loved final fantasy my entire life and after the failure that is FFXIII, FFXIV being a disaster and now this game getting ripped apart a rage has built in me that I just need to express.

Square has always been a fantastic company at the forefront of game production with every nano fiber of the products they produce being a masterpiece. Music story characters cutscenes coding polish interface battle systems all amazing and way ahead of their time. I mean look at this game it is 10 years old tied to PS2 and it still looks dam pretty.

I'm not trying to put anyone down if people like the game the way it is than fair enough but it just seems that a lot of people out there are unhappy and if more are happy than aren't then I guess the age of hardcore gaming is gone and i'll hold a funeral and move on with my life.

I said when you get the BEST GEAR IN THE GAME which is easy to get if you willing to spend the time to do it

"easy".... I find it hard to believe you even have access to these fights let alone find then easy.

If you take the time to read these forums, or even talk to people in game, or even just take the posts in this thread, the vast amount of people like where the game is now and like where it is headed. Perfect? No, but I damn well am having a tremendously fun time.

And I dont know about you, but fighting a giant Crystal Dragon insude the Mothercrystal with 17 other adventurers while it throws death around like hot cakes is pretty damn hardcore to me.

These pretty much lay it all out for you. Can solo your way all the way to 99 outside abby, keeping skills at least fairly close to cap. If they don't stay capped, you can start capping skills periodically via the various aby zones once you get up in level so you can hold your own solo, or do it the old fashioned way and join/form a skillup group.
