Why should I be excited for Grind Parties?

Op speaks the truth....

This is FF... we shouldnt even be aware of our experience bar.... the story is supposed to be SOOO GOOOD... that our character needs to progress ACORDING to that story...

The way the game is designed (in a BAD and AWFUL way) is that you grind->you level up-> you have a small part of the story.

It should be:
You do the story -> you level up -> you have more story -> you level up

Agreed. The fact that party grinding is becoming the focus of the game is somewhat ridiculous to me, when FF games are known for their stories. Put a bunch of intensive, involving story-filled quests for both solo and parties as the main way of leveling, not "go here and kill this" leves/current quests or "lol grind the same mob for hours" party grinding.

Make it progress exactly as the plot of an offline FF game would.
