Max level for FFXIV 99?

[Mijin]

took FFXI 8 years to get to 99 so dont hold your breath

Traditionally its always been 99 in FF games. Yet even so that will be a long ways off.

iirc in 8 it was 100, but I think that was the only one.

No, but when level cap is raised, people would want new content for that new level cap. Otherwise, if you release too much content for lvl 50, then people start to wonder how much it would matter for when the lvl cap is raised. People will do the content, but for the sake of balancing the game, content should be spread out so that there is just about as much content for lvl 50 as much as there is for lvl 25-30, or even lvl 70.

Dark Age Of Camelot had a level cap of 50 .... for almost 10 years now. and could implement new content over the years without raising the lv cap.

unbelievable isnt it?

FF has always been about level 99 cap. So no, on raising it passed that. And you don't need a cap to see more content. FFXI was lvl75 for years and content was good and gear was established. Now they have a 99 cap, which is good for gear and content will once again be established while the content will keep coming.

It would be silly to break the level 99 tradition of Final Fantasy I think.

The other option is to not use levels, such as FF X, XII, XIII

yep you don't really need to a raise the level up to make content little by little games are going away from the idea to even have levels. The point of level is to limit you to what you can do and time sink you too you can reach the level needed to do Endgame but thy could easy make content that could have this type of time sink to they can make new stuff.

Overall i see the cap going up every 1-2years i see the first one being at least 55 then few month later 60 then few years too we see 65-70

I never thought they would have raised the level cap in FFXI past 75. It was 75 for like five years, and to be honest I much preferred it that way. I think a level cap increase is inevitable. I don't really care, but to be honest I slightly would prefer they didn't ever raise it considering leveling in mmo's is nothing but a chore you have to do to get to the real content anyway.

You only raise level caps to ditch old content.

You can add new abilities through quests in FFXIV, and you can get new players ready for new content by adding superior crafted gear. You can still explore new regions that offer new and exciting content at the level cap, you just fill it with stuff that does not only include monsters to grind on.

Just need to increase level cap every 1-2 years, but I like the idea of Lv99 being cap like in every other FF game

Every 2 years 5 levels
