DEV Question: Early Access Level Cap?

[Fira_Bug]

I have looked at every piece of officially released information (because I only believe anything if it comes straight from SE, not random speculation) and I cannot find any info on whether or not there will be a level cap for Early Access

I am trying to plan my play time this weekend and I am curious, as I am sure a lot of people are, if the level cap will still be in effect or if we will be free to level past 20.

I appreciate your time to answer this question if you do and if anyone has any info on this please source it so I can see where SE said there will or will not be a level cap.

Thank you,
Cereza Magi

They posted in the Beta 4 Patch Notes on the beta forums (before they took it down) that there would be no level cap on early access.

Edit: Found a quote here http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...79765e8fc2798:

The level cap has been set to 20.

*All restrictions will be removed starting from early access

By definition the idea of Early Access means there will be no restrictions in place.

There is no level cap limitation in place for early access!

There is no level cap limitation in place for early access!

Can we get a word on the NDA!?

I seem to recall they said before you could post screenshots during P4/EA, just no videos or live streaming until Tuesday.

Definitely looking forward to this weekend as well though I won't get as much time as I'd like due to prepping for my dad's birthday.

There shouldn't be a level cap in place. I don't remember where it was mentioned (be it patch notes or even the last Live Letter)... but I do remember this topic came up specifically and Yoshi-P said that there was only a level cap in the open beta because S-E wanted the OB to be like a demo of sorts... whereas Early Access is the actual game so no lockdowns in terms of content or level cap.
