However, I also recognize that a lot of the characters doing super flashy things in Final Fantasy games are the main characters--of which I will stress again that we are not. As for being stomped on by a dragon and how the game envisions a high level character, I think it's best to separate game mechanics and RP. Otherwise, your character never gets tired and they can run forever and so on and so forth.
Correction: you are not. And that's perfectly okay. I, however, play the game with the assumption that Imogene is the main character of her own story. And I play her on the power level of a Final Fantasy party member.

It's sort of unrelated, but that attitude reminds me of those folks who loved D&D 3.5 because it was a paradise for casters where other classes could do little but lick their boots. I have hated magic casters ever since I was introduced to that awful game system. It's one thing I still can't be objective about.
As someone very familiar with DND, quoted for truth. In fact, DND players were partially what prompted me to write this, because I see this "magic can do anything, non-mages are limited by RL physics" attitude among them way too often.
