This game is turning into even more of a mindless grind....

Try out the beast men stronghold with your raptor party setup and see how far you can go

clearly missing the point of this thread. Beastman strongholds are for endgame AFTER the mindless grind is over.

This post is about leveling a job 1-50 being a completely un-tactical mindless spam-fest in large part due to the bright idea that fighting multiple weak mobs at once to get chains was a good idea.

this essentially nullifies the use of materia as well since you can just be gimped and spam attack raptors from 30-50 making materia a waste of money till end game.
