Fighting Desperately...

Yanno Haydest, with all due respect and patience, again I repeat the very first sentence stated in the OP:

...with an ever-growing urge to just return to FFXI, get a much-needed nostalgia fix, and play all the jobs I used to love from Lv1 solo.

However, you are certainly not going to spending 3-4 months to get to level 99 unless you plan to play solo and in the most tedious way possible (meaning: no Grounds of Valor/Fields of Valor pages).

If you do either GoV or FoV I promise you will STILL level three times as fast as classic XI--SOLO.

I do plan on leveling in the most tedious way possible. I like and prefer that experience. It's called relaxing, sitting back, having fun and watching your character grow little by little. As well as being hyped up for that next level, the new ability you're anticipating, moving to a new solo camp and fighting new things.
