HD update for FFXI

[Miliant]

Perhaps, I feel, the problem lies in the fact that in FFXI the 75 level cap lingered for way longer than it should have. People grew accustomed to it, and they sank a lot of money, time and resources into gear they thought would be permanent. Now that the rules have changed, that's obviously going to hurt. The cap should have at least been risen to 80 years ago to, or at least by 5 levels with each expansion to instill the idea that the cap wasn't permanent.

i think to too. The steadier increases together with bits of content like kupo moogle, crystalline proph. gear etc. (already for lvl 80ies or 85s and such)
would have been a better way but too late now. I liked ffxi a lot and played it several years but i now hope ffxiv is getting good (not just better) and will be a proper replacement of ffxi without copying it too much (still some good things are worth copying instead of leaving them out without a replacement or another better feature)

I don't remember when the cap was increased to 75. Maybe it was this way from Zilart on. But, I do know I was 75 for at least 3 years and through that whole time working on gear for said 75 only for all that time to be in vain. Not a smart move. They should have just wiped the servers and made us start all over from lvl 1.
