Overleveling vs Underleveling

[Koh]

which is "your fault". You cant really complain if youre obviously weak for the enemy (except if, again, the game was poorly balanced). A good game places enemies compatible with your current level. If they force you to levelgrind and/or make you face a boss from fucking nowhere, thats also their fault.

Well I can't think of ANY game that does both. It's either one or the other; the enemies level up with you, but become super overpowered in the higher levels (Final Fantasy Tactics, for example), or they expect you to have put levels under your belt by certain points (Any JRPG). You can never just go straight through the story in an RPG unless you know what you're doing (Final Fantasy Tactics), or if the game allows for it (Kingdom Hearts). A game is NEVER perfectly balanced xD.
