Level Sync Confirmed

Honestly, I can't say I'm exactly thrilled with the level sync since it was horribly implemented in XI, however I will reserve full judgement on it until it actually comes out and I experience it first hand.....

Only thing i hated about lvl sync in xi was it got your skills up wayy behind which sucked but we don't have that problem in this game.

glad to see level sync is coming. now i will just be ignoring help shouts from low level players lol.

edit: better point out i'm talking about people already are unwilling to help low level players or do any content they already have so this will only make that even more so. if you go and shout to do anything in game now if you don't have an active ls you are just sol. by adding level sync it just makes more people unwilling to help.

that's what i hated too and most of the parties were held in the dunes and I hated that area with a passion... blah always the damn dunes... but like I said i'll reserve my opinion of it now until it comes out and I try it.

:D awesome! I loved level sync

where does it state this? I can't find anything about it mentioned.

Have they clarified whether this will be archaic XI-style level sync (that is, you can only match other players in the party), or the more modern style of letting players choose their level (that is, you can manually choose any level below you, so you can participate in any lower-level content, whether in a group or solo)?

It is mentioned in the video.

So where does it mention level synch? I'm lousy at navigating twitter ^^;

If it's like XI, level sync will push players right past the mid-game content. I remember my second playthrough (i played FFXI up to Chains for a few years then returned with a new character after the levely sync) I went to 3 zones before I reached first limit. It was too easy to skip over all of the other zones because there was no reason to level there.
