My little LS saw this coming a few months back, and we jumped ship when the crew of said ship got the pails and buckets out, and started tossing water into the hold.
There were some remarks a few months ago on BG about how people were blaming Tanaka unfairly for his hand in "Barance", as he'd been "involved" with the design and implementation of Abyssea while he and his cohorts were busy ripping XIV launch to tatters, but that seems counterintuitive. At the Fanfest where the level cap rise was mentioned, the statement was made that it was time for "the players to be strong, relative to the adversaries they faced," and now we're inching back to what we were at Lv.75.
I blame Tanaka and his minions of darkness. I really do.
