Something wrong with this game?

I've done about 15 marks and i'm level 39 after 45 or so hours of the game. I could have done more but I just can't be arsed looking for them atm. It's not really about levelling up, it's about strategy. People have completed all marks at lowest levels possible before, 122333, so yeah.

I find it really hard to believe, 15 marks in 45 hours that's 3 hours per mark, when do you did story to get marks and got levels if that's barely the time needed to get to mark try on it couple of things, get killed, reload get killed again and then leave area and go to train for 3 hours to get back and get killed again, etc.? Seriously, very hard to believe, unless you don't try to find how to kill it and read the guides of Japanese guys, they probably have beaten this game ages ago.

Well what do you know, most FF games require you to train.

Yes it is an FF game..and so what if you have to train to defeat mark bosses? Do you expect to breeze through everything without doing no..training?

That's not true, I played all FF games I never had to grind unless near the end, so I pretty much know what I'm talking about. One of reasons why I never had to train, there is a save point right before every boss (with very few exceptions) in any FF game, so you can try as much as you want until you find the strategy. Levels you gain while going through game is enough until final bosses and I was fine with that for 20 years mind to notice. In this game almost all the time I train and I'm nowhere near the end of the game. For me that doesn't feel like FF at all.

Not talking about the fact that I was enjoying training in most of FF games, because encounter rate of random encounters was easy to predict, while in FF12 monsters have really weird spawn times and I end up traveling way more than actually getting into fights.
