Thanks so much for all your help guys! I really appreciate it! I played for another six hours, just grinding down main quests.... and I had to stop, I just couldn't take it anymore. Each quest was very uninteresting, and although I did get to this really cool boss battle (Right after the Serpent guild fight, or something) but I just got to the point that I couldn't put in anymore time.

For me, the biggest thing that hurt was that the game started off way to slow, slow I started going out into the fields and grinding monsters for experience but I wasn't doing the quests. Once I went back, I think I still had a TON of boring quests in front of me and I just couldn't do it anymore. I think I will try again really soon. Was I really close to the interesting content?
