Honestly, playing after the patch felt... Weird. The earlygame felt brutally difficult compared to before. This probably has to do with weapons being nerfed through the floor. Where I could originally clear the voidlings with smart play in one turn, now it takes 3-4. It took me over an HOUR to get to level 2. The game felt REALLY slowed down in the beginning, and that's the exact opposite of what you want to do in an RPG. You quickly feed the player levels in order to let feel like they're actually getting somewhere. Disgaea did this extremely well. It gave you 4-7 levels (Depending on the title) and access to early grinding zones all within the tutorials.
My opinion might be in the minority here... But it felt at the right speed before.
