I was checking where I was currently on the FFXIV Main Story quests and geez I have a long way to go.
I know some of these are fillers but it's still going to take some time before I get leveled up also. Did most people that finished the story always stayed leveled up higher than the mission level?
There were quite a few times where I had to gain a few levels to move forward on missions, but for the group missions (dungeons and primals), I waited to finish those until I was the maximum sync level so they would be theoretically easier.
