Thread: For 7.0 and future expansions. Keep raising level cap or finish it at 99?

Well, while not all the FF games capped at 99, a lot of them did. FFXIV tends to throwback to the classic FF's quite frequently so it wouldn't be unusual for them to pay homage in that way and cap out at 99. I get the feeling we'll be getting a level squish eventually though. So either 7.0 likely goes back to level 50, or we get a 99 or 100 cap in 7.0, but 8.0 would be almost guaranteed to have a level squish. I can't see them allowing what happened with WoW and level caps getting out of control at level 120. Leveling for new players was a chore even at the sped up exp pace.

Multiples of ten are more aesthetically pleasing anyway, 99 does annoy me.

Personally I'd find 100 to be annoying and 99 would be a neat homage to to older FF games.
