>>717292847Leveling up in E33 happens automatically. There might've been a picto which stops leveling up (there's so many it's hard to keep track of them) but it's impossible to beat the whole game at lvl 1. And besides, an E33 challenge run would be more about abusing the parry system rather than outmaneuvering enemies through pure RPG mechanics.
Apparently there are low level strats in Xenoblade, I never experimented with those, but that seems like pure masochist shit that might not even be possible to play through from beginning to end. BS2 is meanwhile not only possible for your average player, it's actively enjoyable.
>if you count arpgsThe implication was turn-based RPGs. SL1 runs of Souls games are infamous.
