I've tried that but I've fallen in love with the pawn system, and having a party of four is now mandatory for me most of the time. My main account is level 200 and each playthrough I grab 2 pawns from the Encampment who are about level 10-20, and I gimp my Arisen and main pawn with starter weaps.

In postgame you spend too much time reviviing them so I'll sometimes pick a couple of high-level favorites and give them low-level gear. Going through the Everfall with +0 Criteria or +0 Iron Sword can be really difficult, if you're on Hard Mode then all the better (I don't play Hard Mode much though because of the stamina thing).

If you look around you can sometimes find high level pawns who are perma-gimped by their owner with base gear, that'll save you the trouble of gearing them down.

But if you're happy with just the 2 of you that's awesome; even more challenging that way.
