I'm really curious if folks who don't like the Legendary skills played PF1 past level 15, and if so why they bothered.

I know, a level 1 wizard can fall any distance, and these people are going to complain about a level 15 rogue being able to do it. I just don't get it.

That´s because you can´t see the game as anything but a collection of stats.

I love that there it´s at least an intention of making fighters and rogues to be more on par with the magic-oriented classes, but there it´s no point to it if it cost them their very soul. I want to play fighter and rogues because they are characters that are tied to certain rules and need to find more or less plausible ways to solve their problems in contrast with just snapping their fingers and fixing everything.

If your only issue is personally wanting to play a more grounded character, then that's actually easily done. It's been repeatedly mentioned that you can simply not take any Legendary skills or Skill Feats and still do fine, assigning them elsewhere (to a greater number of Master Skills and Skill Feats, presumably). Your character will be more of a generalist and less of a specialist skill-wise, but that's pretty appropriate for a 'mundane' character.

If you object to such characters existing, that doesn't help...but if you object to such characters existing how in the world were you dealing with Monk or Magus in PF1? Or any one of a vast number of other examples I can think of in PF1 that played into being 'anime-like' (or, IMO, just high powered and/or mystical).

I don´t find crippling myself by not taking the best options available to be a great solution. I´m aware that people like their characters to be anime-like, but I would rather have it as a supplement to play a wuxia-like campaign than in core, so it would be easier to agree as a group to ignore it. About monks and magus being able to do incredible feats the answer it´s easy, they are magic users, not mundane characters (Ki just being another type of magic).

Urg I was kinda hyped about the second edition but this legendary thing it´s such a letdown. I play mundane characters and this looks like they pretty much removed them from the game, not everyone it´s magic! I would rather have a little nerf on mage characters that just eliminating mundane of the game, not everyone wants to play in an anime-like world.
