Overleveling vs Underleveling

[TomGuycott]

Underleveling used to be a norm for me, but not because of a conscious choice. Back when I was really young and my attention span was really really low (which is saying something considering what mine is now) I'd run from battles all the time because all I really wanted to see were the awesome bosses or the story. I think the last game I ever did this on was Final Fantasy X, where the final boss (the actually difficult part) was probably the hardest boss I've ever faced. I think what snapped me out of doing that is the fact I didn't like FFX as much as any of the other RPGs I played. Later I went off to get one of the best weapons in the game, and by the time I got back and fought the boss I literally beat him in two hits. It would have been one, but it has a second phase with a separate health bar.
