The Problem with ARR Progression

[Aomine1992]

I start playing 10 months ago, got 4.0 finished within the first month and I don't remember that. To be honest I don't even remember anything blocking or slowing my progression outside of tomes farming for gear AND, later on, the red chocobos of death to unlock Ivalice (which wasn't even MSQ).

Those red Chocos were cancer lol they were killing everyone when that raid first came out cause it was a thousand of them running around summoning meteors everywhere. Hopefully SE strays always from that path
