Please Allow 50's to Enter Ishgard w/o having completed MSQ

Not hero, heroes. The cutscene prior to the last trial explicity mentionned "help from the free companieS" and suggest that you "gather a group of adventurerS"

I always imagine it's like this reverse "party in your pocket" thing.
You know how normally in FFs before XI, your party would kind of "merge" with you on overland zones?
Well here and XI it's the opposite: they're implied to be "merged" with you for story cutscenes!
This makes more sense when you realize Japanese doesn't have standard noun pluralization (adding -tachi to the noun just makes it "X's group, or "group of X," it's not a standard pluralization.) so when they call you 英雄 (eiyuu) the word they use for "Warrior of Light", the could be referring to you singularly or collectively.
So "The Warrior of Light is escaping!"
and "The Warriors of Light are escaping!" would translate exactly the same (well, they can, you can also use 英雄たち (eiyuu-tachi) but yeah)

Except you see them during specific cutscene. At the end of Praetorium, or in the Coil, for example.

Each of THOSE people has a few thousand within them :3

Yea, the amount of people involved is much less important than the chronology of events within the MSQ's internal lore.


What I do empathize with is the classes though.
You shouldn't have to get to 50 and then finish all post 50 MSQ, just to get go back to 30 as a new class and deal with ARR all over again (even if leveling isn't so bad).

I think the new classes should've started at 50 so you can move forward in Ishgard with the new Ishgard level Jobs.
It even makes more sense for the Job quests to take place in Ishgard (though I guess we'll see).

I feel like they're only 30 so that there'll be people doing the older content while the new one is released.
That's fine, but that's only likely an issue for launch.

I'd be fine with it too if they planned to up it to 50 later, but that's unlikely due to how Job quests are designed.
