Level cap increase every 1-2 years.

Please tell me how sky was still relevant up until Abyssea. Please tell me. I promise not to be a total ass when I prove you wrong.


There was, and a rather large one at that. Abyssea just seems like an after-thought to give a dying game's fans what they want. At least to me. I never saw the point in raising the cap in XI, mainly because I had already pimped out my character with what I wanted, I had accomplished everything I wanted to, and I was done and over with the game mid-way through ToAU. Went to a game that didn't require 5+ hours to get normal things done, such as leveling and it still has my interest 5 years later.

FFXI started going downhill in ToAU, after that, it continued down that road. ToAU is what killed Sky and Sea in XI. This is why I stated earlier, the only people who think otherwise are people who didn't start until ToAU or they're looking back with rose-tinted glasses.

It wasn't to me, I had been done with for a long time. However for people who still needed much of that gear it could be done. I quit before Abyssea it may have been useless before that, but I seriously doubt all of the HNM's I used to farm were.

Of course you become done with content eventually, but there are better ways to progress characters than making old content completely obsolete not only for the people who already have all its rewards, but for new people who should have the chance to progress through it. That is what raising the level cap arbitrarily does, they should be more creative when adding new content so they can grow (EXPAND) the game with expansions. Expansions should never reduce the amount of overall content players have to play through.

can i like ur comment like 1000 times ._.
but like he siad just because YOUR done with the content doesnt mean it has to become obsolete to every1 it just means it is to u and thats why they add more dungeons on the side instead of just saying o well u didnt join early enough for this to be rewarding just skip it
