There are negatives to overleveling.

When you're more than 5 levels above a creature, chances are good it's going to ignore you. If you're more than 10 levels above it, it will ignore you. That removes danger from the world at a time when those creatures should be aggressive and feel threatening. They also die much easier because they aren't designed with the higher level toolkits and power in mind, reducing the chance of them feel threatening even more.

When you're more than 10 levels above a creature, your chocobo gains no XP from when you kill it so it ranks up much slower.

There's no useful benefit to overleveling because MSQ controls content unlocks (other than 5 ARR dungeons) and zone unlocks once you get to HW content.

There needs to be a way to disable the bonuses for those who want to be able to experience all the content at the intended level and not just the dungeons/trials. Those who want to faceroll the content can always do additional roulettes to get the extra levels for the power advantage.
