With enough synergies and xp boosts one mission in Story Mode will grant you 2-3 levels at once. While this is fine for people wanting to level fast, it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth for me because Story content is one if the best pieces of content MH has to offer. Yet, we breeze through it.
Now, that is not true for new players. They probably level normally through the Story. However, I'd die (not literally lol) for a challenging Story mode that does not force you to skip content. Cosmic version of it might solve that for me. Do you think it is anywhere near or still in development hell?
