Is it actually possible for them to keep adding content without raising the level cap

[Mykha]

I had read that yoshi didn't want to raise the level cap, and that approach to the game would interest me a lot more than having a raise each new expansion and making older content unused and ignored.

If they keep going with item levels, and stack content based on item level, add quests that are accessible based on item level etc. it could get pretty interesting.

How do you guys think they'll handle it?

Content means a lot of things. Adding new content does not mean combat content only.

Chocobo racing, Golden saucer, Housing, Party crafting, etc. Are also new content.

SE pls add lalafell hunting as content... there are just too many of them.

Sure why not , the only thing will be they will need to lock out players who aren't geared . Pretty simple . Which makes you think why even have lvl 1 to 50 , just have no levels at all just gear levels .

Considering it takes zero skill to get 50 grinding FATES right

The reason for raising level caps is to even the playing field. As item levels continue to rise, the amount of people doing earlier content falls... it makes it a lot harder for new players or slower paced players to find enough people to get involved.

I think that not raising the level cap at some point will kill the purpose of the game. It will raise... the story has to continue, new primals have to appear... (more) epic battles have to come, and more skills have to become accessible (i still hope for some kind of skill tree.... unless what ppl claim it was present in many FF games... why not on this one?)

If they keep going with item levels as you said... well guess what? lower item levels will become useless even more that it would be with a level cap raise because at least, you would need the items to help you leveling your char. Those quests based on item levels... what would they bring to your char? new items? like.. you'll end up with a char full item 150... but being level 50? doesn't make sense.

As of new gears we could get... it would mean either gear higher level (i repeat imo it makes no sense)... or it could mean new gears with different stat allocation. I would LOVE the latest option.... It would show that finally SE team understood they have to bring more diversity into their game, and this game needs it a lot Clone Fantasy14 ;p
So yes in this respect they could keep adding new gear sets without raising the level cap or gear level, it would give the oportunity for everyone to customize their character as they wish, finally the game would become interesting with more pve builds and pvp would have a slight chance of becoming something. -> this is called horizontal progression. They should take exemple on GW2 best game out in the market when it comes to that (and they didn't need 2years to add content and diversity.)

Hehe, they should do the same with Miqo'te :P

SE pls add lalafell cuddling as content... they are just too cute.

Fixed your typo for you ^^;;

I don't see why not. FFXI did it for like 7 years.

I don't know where you read that, but I think you misunderstood. There was an interview where Yoshi-P said he didn't want to raise the level cap too soon, because there are multiple classes to level already and he wants people to use the HL content.

But that doesn't mean he won't ever raise it. On the contrary, he said multiple times that the level cap will be increased, giving new job quests, new skills, etc...

He even said it again recently when asked about news egis based on remaining primals for the summoner.
