As usual I have to preface this with “not interested in debating if limited jobs should exist or not”. They’re here, deal with it.

But my question is, what would change if BLU (or any future limited job) was brought up to level 90 (or whatever the current level cap at the time is)? The level cap is not the only thing that determines if a job can do relevant content, they have the ability to lock limited jobs out of current raids, or any duty, just by flagging that duty as “no limited jobs” that they can then turn off down the line the same way they turn on unrestricted party down the line.

So is there any legitimate reason that these jobs can’t be at the max level? The only things I can think of are maps, FATEs and hunts which are all trivial anyway.

The reason I ask and would like them to be at max level is gear. It’s bad enough currently having to hold on to my level 80 caster set for when BLU finally makes the jump, but now I’m also holding on to all my melee and tank gear in anticipation for the potential for beastmaster to be added as a limited job (not knowing what type of gear it will use). If these jobs could just be brought up to level cap then we won’t need multiple sets just for limited jobs. And as it stands I see no reason it couldn’t be this way.
