Honestly, anyone arguing FOR this system is insane. I doubt any of you that are in agreement with this actually went through it. There is absolutely nothing enjoyable about dredging through 120+ story quests for little to no reward before you can continue to play the game. This design choice by square WILL cost them players. Specifically I don't believe a single new player will actually go through this game and I personally will recommend anyone interested ~not~ play it, simply due to the lv.50 MSQ grind. It was and is a terrible experience, and anything that may have been enjoyable about the quests is stomped out by the ridiculous grind you have to go through to get there.

Also to those of you that are insane enough to think that just because they said it it's okay, just because you were warned someone is planning to shoot you in the foot makes it okay then, I guess, right?
