My point is, before some of you argue the logic of the experience, do as Yoshi and the team says and try it. Play the game for a week (its been like 14 hours or so) then talk about your experiences. Although I haven't had much experience grinding post-patch, I can tell you leves were harder solo (for my 30 LNC), so again, SE is promoting party play but also allowing soloing (with the addition of 99 leve allowances) but are making it a bit more challenging at the same time. In sum, I think the game post patch 1.19 will prove to be a fundamental change that laid the foundation for the experience moving forward. Hopefully we look back in a year or so and see that as the first piece of many great ones to come.
Fantastic post, but you get an A- for poor formatting.
