Level 100 and Beyond

That combined with a level squish at some point I think will be in the future.

I don't know about that. Yoshida's already said he'd like to see things stop at 100 and find a different way to handle progression. We already have alternate level systems in the game (Eureka / Bozja), so they could potentially expand on that. That's a good 3 years away though.

If we stopped at level 100 I wouldn't be opposed to them completely revamping the gearing/stat system and head down the path of job levels and master levels or something similar that FFXI has. The amount of work that would entail to change the entire structure of the game's progression would probably be insane but who knows. I just honestly don't see them doing it because of the workload involved and still needing players to have a feeling of progression on their characters.

There are already skips, but yes they might have a free story skip to start the new saga. In that case those players will see that they can skip to the new expansion and start at Lv90 upfront.

I would be fine with them giving players that option.

He has? In the last live letter he said that the next expansion would have a Lv100 cap and they're reviewing all options with levels after that point. He hasn't said he wants to stop at 100.

He made some commentary during the patch reading about going beyond level 100 and is concerned about simply going to 110 after that.
