Beyond Level 100

[LanceSummers]

I think it has been obvious since Dawntrail that something new must be done instead of raising the level cap. Job rotations have become bloated as is, and there's not much room to insert much new.
That being said, level 100 is a great stopping place for max level, but what should the next form of progression beyond levelling be?

Level to 110 and fix the bloat. We don't need another type of leveling system because whatever the alternative will be it will feel the exact same as "level 10 more levels."

We don't need another levelling system, we need current levelling system to be fixed and onboarding for new players to become easier

[VeyaAkemi]

So long as the button bloat doesn't become worse, I don't actually care what happens, I'd be plenty satisfied with no leveling at all, just iLvl increases.

Probably going to end up with a level squish. Any new system would just feel like "level 110 but with fancier words" where starting back over at level 1 on a new track is meaningless when you still had to reach level 100 to get there and the game still treats you as level 110 for gearing and content access.

Lv100 is fine. It's just numbers with no meaning anyway. If you wanted to, you could just tie ability acquisition to MSQ and it would line up the same way.

The whole thing needs to be redone, squished, something. The issue isn't that we're getting more things, the issue is that the rest of the game below Lv100 feels worse, and worse, and worse every time you have to sync.

I think I a lot of jobs could use more unique actions and have actions that are alternate versions of eachother combined like they did with shoha and shoha2

Having two Shohas was the worst thing for hotbar space, they should have combined them mid-EW instead of waiting for DT for that change. Heavily agree with your idea.

ilvl increase is all we need.

We don't need L110.

Spend more time fixing the existing jobs and less time forcing 10 more levels.

They should use the merit point system of FF11 to give players merit points after LVL100 instead of experience points. You can then use merit points to "hone" your skills, for example raising potency of a dps skill, or range of a healing aoe etc. This way, it would create many ways to play your job, for example, if you want to play solo more as a healer, you could put merit points into your dps skills. Meanwhile if you're doing raids, it's more meaningful to upgrade your healing or buffs. I think it's gonna be fun to explore and build your character.
