Low level gameplay: A growing problem

[Nariel]

I'll have to disagree with you there. Back when I first started playing the game, I found it fun after approximately 14 seconds into the game - and still do.

Low level stuff could always use tweaking though, and I actually would like SE to go back to ARR (base game) systems as a whole (including character creation) and polish things up a bit - ShB is absolutely stunning in every regard and bringing previous parts of the game closer to that standard could only ever be a good thing.

Same here, had a blast when I first start this game and would love to restart everything all over again with fresh memory. The only drawback is not being able to do bahamut coil as easely I would be able to do Alexander or even omega.

I'll grant 2.1 to 2.5 have quite a lot of filler quest that bring nothing interesting and could be cut from the game without losing anything.

The fact we gain skill over time is to add to the progression feeling, as you gain in level so you gain in mastering your job, it make sense to be a begginer early on.
