I tend to dislike leveling in FF games, though FFXII is a notable exception.
It isn't that bad in FFXII. Heck you can easily get to the 90s before the Waterway on account of Dustia being so easy to kill so early on.
I think you may have misread what I posted. FFXII is the exception to my dislike of leveling/grinding in FF games, though I've never abused the Dustia method.
