Level squish?

[Iscah]

Do you really think a new player will want to get through 150 levels not only on one job but many?

It's even worse being stuck in story and being max level way before the main msq is over... just feels bad.

Levelling on "many jobs" can be improved by increasing the armoury bonus so you get more EXP per job, and particularly shoot up through the low levels quicker so you have accesss to more variety of content sooner per job.

On the other hand, being max level before the MSQ is over is prevented by levelling a second job as you go, so you can spread EXP. You're in control of that.
