EDIT: And to the person above; yeah, no. Abyssea is bad, because it's existence invalidated the entire mid level game. You hit 30 then fly to 70-99. The worst part is, there's almost nothing involved in doing such. Running back and forth is without ever having to hit attack or open your spells is not even gameplay. You can call it mechanic abuse, but it's been going on years now unfixed.
