So, Yoshi-P confirmed in an interview (Translated) that leveling from 50-60, will take as long as from 1-50.


"This time, you'll learn new actions every two levels, so the way you play will be changing frequently. What was the intent behind this?

Yoshida: It will take about the same amount of time to get to level 60 as it did to get from level 1 to level 50, so with the new actions learned every other level, it will still feel familiar to the progression as before."



I don't know what others expected, but from what I've heard, it feels like most didn't expect it to take that long.

So this thread is simply to discuss your thoughts about this decision.

I personally like it, because it will actually give you time to experience the new areas and whatnot, and gradually learn new abilities. The problem comes with people who play a lot of jobs (I have most at 50, but mostly play 1 at a time), and leveling up all your jobs will take some time....
