Thread: Let Me Level up in 5.0

It feels like a rather unnecessary addition. If you truly miss that low level experience, its easy enough to make a new character and grind all over again. However, I'd say that most players would not enjoy this option and almost nobody would choose it. That being said, I think level 50 is a good starting point for any future jobs in 5.0 because it'll give you more time to become acquainted with your new job before pulling you into the newest content, with players who presumably should be more familiar with their jobs and may not enjoy being grouped with players who are literally brand new to their jobs.

I don't think they'd ever abolish it. It would make a huge mess of the lore for early-game classes, and the stories can't just be re-written to insert the job name instead of the class. Often they emphasise the difference between the two.

Even more recently, the Stormblood monk quest had the specific plot point that pugilist techniques are not the same as monk's, and you're at an advantage for knowing both.

I guess someone's getting their wish. BLU released at level 1 (probably to let you learn the skills naturally) with current level cap of 50. I imagine that's because they want to beta test it.

Starting at lvl 1 is going to annoy me to no end, but I guess I'll have to endure it 'cause I love BLU.

Plus, you'll have to have pre-made parties for any dungeons you go through/can't use PotD or levelling roulettes. FATE grinding for 50 levels, what fun!

I wanted to save My Response until I was sure of what direction blue mage was taking, but I'm excited for the job because with it comes everything that I felt I needed. I'm sorry that it had to come at the expense of a job some people have been asking for for over 4 years but we are Here now. I see pve areas being populated again by more then just sprouts, your chocobo has a use again, fates, squadrons and more are rejuvenated. Before the duty finder was introduce the is how eorzea was. Now Theres more then running the same content untill your gear is maxed on every class or a new patch arrives. For someone like me who has every job/Class maxed this is what I needed.
