The system is fine as-is, in terms of growth rates. THe current percentages are pretty darn good, compared to the average FE growth rates, iirc. No need to go changing whats been proven to work in the test games. And yeah, if we did increase the growth rates by a significant amount, that would make Blossom even MORE broken! If EVERYONE agrees that they want more growth, I'd suggest limiting it to . .  oh . . 20% to be spread amongst the stats at promotion from First to Promoted Class. No more than that, because JEEZ.<br/><br/>Of course, I go on record as not wanting more growths than the system already allows for, what with all the good growth rates everyone already has.<br/><br/>As for Trainee/First levels, yes, me and Maribelle will end up Total Level 6, Class Level 1. . . or 5/1? Something like that. Our stats will be (mostly) slightly more than the other characters, but we'll gain less exp.
