Graphically its a mess and Id argue down any idea of bringing it back graphically (its basically the classic FF way too many menus type of deal).

Game play wise when you hit max level you still collect EXP once you get enough EXP (I think its basically a levels worth of EXP) you get a point you can spend on things like faster attack speed or more health. You can spend the points for your character in general or spend them on class specifics. There was a limit on how many points you could put into each category.

In short it adds levels where you get to customize what "leveled up" about your character.
