30 hours or less?

[Rokien]

Hello everyone, Rokien again! I hope everyone is having a good week, I know I'm having a great week!

I would like to talk about leveling again~ I know, you don't want to, but it is an interesting topic, especially because nobody has brought up how long it takes to level(that I have seen).
In a yoshi-p interview, yoshi said it would take 30 hours to get to level 15, if you don't get sidetracked. Now, that brings up a lot of questions, or maybe just a few.

*How long is it going to get to cap from level 15?
*Is there THAT many quests, or is it going to be a mix of everything?
*What will sidetrack us? What low level content are they going to be added, because level 15 is party play, so dungeons won't be till then(probably).
*If level 15 is ideal party time, does that mean quests will turn into party quests, or all party stuff will be dungeons/raids?

I can keep going but I think that covers at least the jist of it. I'm bringing this up because this is one thing that I and other have complained about, the leveling speed of 1.x. I am very pleased, even if it is just quest based leveling/grinding/whatever. I'm happy to see that at least 1-15 is going to be the length of at least a single player game. That just brings the door wide open post 15! As much as I complain, I am excited to see what is going to happen with the game.

Here is what Yoshi said: "... For myself I am thinking of level 15 as an ideal level for setting up a party and trying out a dungeon. If you don’t sidetrack to get to that point probably would take about 30 hours....If the starting point is too fast it would make the later stages hard, also if you try to cram everything at once you can’t remember them. By learning the official you have to use them several times or you won't learn it, thinking of that it’s about 30 hours. If you play 2 hours a day it’s about 2 weeks timing. If you’re playing just for efficiency you could probably get through much faster (laugh)"

As always thanks for teh translation Reinheart!
