for my first file per game ill at least finish all the quests in the beginning ranks, but every file after that i just rush through. taking your time getting gear is pointless before g-rank when you can manage just fine wearing jaggi/velo armor. also in terms of ranks being unique: i always see low-rank as a tutorial rank while high-rank and g-rank are usually only differentiated by the new content and features they add into the g-version.

but back on topic, i still feel that when youre given a fresh new character theres really no point in having g-rank when you can just put the stuff that would usually be there into high-rank instead. not only does it waste less time for everyone, but it gives the devs something to fall back on if they DO decide to expand the game.
