Honestly, what did you expect from an Asian MMO? Not to be racist, but they've always been grindy.

Not to mention, this is a FINAL FANTASY MMO. At least the single player games I remembered playing, you grinded your ass off if you wanted to get all the characters to max level.

I'll admit, I'm floored that Yoshida's promise of being able to get to 50 just through questing is BULLSHIT. However, I don't mind that I have to grind to get other classes leveled, I expected that from this kind of game.
