Might Start Over

[Raldo]

The XP incentive is a pretty big deal, and since you've already experienced the first bit, you should be able to plow through it very quickly. I would certainly advise starting over, especially if you're not fond of your character.

If you choose not to restart, then I will mention that there is a Lv50 Main Story quest that gives you a Fantasia if you would prefer to go that route to change your character's appearance.
