Level 99 - Trial of the Citadel

[Patrik]

I'd imagine it just didn't seem worth the expense to them to do it. raising the cap from 99 to 100 probably isn't as simple as most of you are thinking. to some extent the max level of 99 has always been in the game (if you search for characters by level, you could search from 1<99 since way back when). So there could be complications raising it to a 3 digit number.

many of you may think that sounds completely stupid, but this is an OLD game. There simply are coding issues like this, not saying they couldn't raise it, but it wouldn't be worth the money they'd need to invest to give us just one level. but i can live without one tiny level... and i can live with lvl 5 petrify never affecting me again XD

The development team looked over everyone’s opinions from both those who preferred level 99 and those who preferred level 100, and as a result of their discussions they have decided to keep the max level at 99.

That's really terrible. The majority of these posts were pro-Lv.100, so I don't really understand where the data is coming from to keep Lv.99. If it's all based on what the Japanese player community wants, then why even bother asking? It's just kind of ridiculous.

No kidding. Like 11+ pages dedicated towards 100. Then they up and decide 99 is the way to go. May as well change everything else to be 99.

This is clearly an attempt to bring players off of 11 and onto 14.

I like the lvl 99 cap since thats whats been the usual in the other FF games, but I do have to say, there is alot of lvl 50 abilitys I would like to use as a sub job, so I think I would prefer lvl 100 ^_-

It's not gonna work.

No. Level 100 is already in the game. Crafting, Monsters, Combat Skills go over 100. 3 Digit Numbers are present, therefore non issue.

The decision was obviously based off of the JP community. Which if it was that bias, it should of remained a JP only question. I can't wait to see the result of that Platform poll. I bet 80% of JP will be PS2 players, and that will simply spill the beans for simply never, ever seeing anything new in 11.

i got an idea what if have a lvl 99 peice of gear that boosts your level to 100 and there is a version for each job but you can only pick to use on 1 job

I wonder what the actual votes were across the board, seems like 90% of this thread was shooting for 100...

[Neisan_Quetz]

Doesn't matter when the Devs only care about the opinion of one side of the boards.

Haha suckers.
