Raise the minimum allowable job level in Abyssea from 30 to 70+

[Sama]

At the end of the day, SE's Abyssea sales webpage (and the description text in POL when you agree to terms to buy Abyssea) clearly states that level 30s can participate in Abyssea. Advertising that level 30s can enter and then increasing the level minimum after people have paid for the product (which we all have done) is a classic Bait and Switch. If they did that, they'd be legally exposed to truth-in-advertising lawsuits, not to mention I doubt it would take long for a breach-of-contract class action suit to form. And that's just in the US.

Game. Set. Match.

This is exactly I've been trying to say. Abyssea is just a marketing strategy before the end of FFXI. The way they designed the aby zones including emp wpn, armor, xp and others are way off balance.

This is no longer a gamers game, it's changing to a 2-hour game for all everyone much like WoW.

Abyssea is interim content, and it is over with at level 90. This is not even "Endgame". It is casual content for casual players once they hit level 99. I highly doubt there is not a completely separate Endgame system being developed for the level 99 cap.

Empyrean Weapons are also nowhere near complete. The 50/50/75 trials inside Abyssea are just the next tier up from the 4/4/6 VNM trials. It's just a pattern utilizing the next step up in the NM system. Dragua was not meant to be the final trial for my Verethragna.
