leveling a new job is not taking a step back. it's leveling a new job. 30-50 won't be a fate grind unless the player wants it to be. SE has made changes to 2.0 content to make leveling much faster. changes to keep vets coming back to the lower level content. you keep presenting your argument as if new players will have to do every single thing that vets had to do and that is simply not true. They will not have to clear everything we had to clear. They will be getting double xp and and higher level gear in dungeons than we did. they will be able to do instances with less than a full pt. when 3.0 hits doing 2.0 content is looking pretty sweet compared to the way we had it. with the DF changes i know i will be hitting the 2.0 content quite a bit just for desynth items alone. so again, it's not like the suffering you present it as. and in the end, if people hate having to do the story in a FF game that much. . .this is not the game for them.
