level 100

Sruon has it right. IIRC, the system SE uses for recording our levels is based on a 2-digit max system. Thus why we won't see level 100 for any job. It'd be nice, but I'd rather keep 99 as the cap for all jobs.

Even if only 1 byte was used to store it would be able to go up to 255, so I don't see why they couldn't go past 99. I think they did it the way they did to keep with the common cap of the previous Final Fantasy games, but I could be wrong.

knowing SE it'd take "too many man hours" to change the system from 2 digits to 3.

Actually this is somewhat justified. The English client (and possibly others) have their GUI's designed a very particular way, and fitting that extra digit in everywhere would be.. a bit of a hassle, especially considering it needs to conform to the PS2 version of the game (running at a very low resolution)..

Final Fantasy 8

And therefore the argument is invalid

[Olor]

didn't SE say they weren't raising the 75 cap too?

This pretty much is why lv100 will never happen.

[Bumbeen]

that was a nice whoosh

[Selzak]

Yea, Its posted as rhetorical. You took it literally

A rhetorical statement? That's cool and "ironic" I guess.

Display limitations would prevent 100 from properly showing up in search and many game windows.

It's also probably intentional to block lv50 abilities from being subbable.
