Level Cap Increase

[Taaku]

Best way would be to overhaul the story and cut out all the fluff quests I guess. How did FFXI do it?

When they finally got around to changing it, they uncapped capped fights, allowed you to take in NPC partners (making them soloable if you were not already lv 99) and other minor things, you still had to do the large amount of quests. but it was quicker because of the changes, and other QoL changes they made (easier traveling ect.)
