I think it would've been cool if the game had the option of allowing the optional battles/quests to scale with your level or progress (like letting the player choose if they want set levels or scaling levels). I guess I'm not sure how they could adjust the wandering enemies to account for that, though.

I was just disappointed when the map opened up, but the north was behind a level 25 battle. I see from Ermine that it's possible to do that one early (maybe with that one character's summons that weirdly align with the battle level and not the character's?), but presumably everything beyond that is also in the 20s-30s, so I still wouldn't want to go up and recruit anyone that much stronger so soon.
