Powerful characters are, in my mind, about as fun to play as a bucket of water. Adversity is the core of a good story, and mankind's strength comes from our unity and bravery. Being a 'prodigy' lessens your need for other people, which is bad.Â
I take it to the other extreme. My characters always start off terrible at almost everything. Sometimes they gradually get better. Sometimes they don't. Ryoko knows about 3 spells, and she's powerful enough to kill the frogs in Lower La Noscea. Her treasure hunting has, thus far, netted her 50 gil. My last RP character, in GW2, was a terrible swordsman and an opium addict who never had any money because he couldn't gamble to save his life but he'd never say no to a round of cards.Â
So yeah, you've got every class at 50. Ignore some of them. That's how I do it, anyway.
