New Level Cap 99?

I'm sure they've planned for that...

Would make sense why they're giving away free relics!

Considering the people posting it on twitter I highly doubt that.

also SE already made the game take longer to do anything than any other good mmorpg, so that it would keep people playing and seem elite. increasing to 99 would be something they would do, but considering ffxiv, and rumors are that ffxi is gonna get shut down by this time 2013... idk why they would bother with all the work that would go in to it

yeah... i call ***

I've been watching the live feed. They showed a RDM and PLD hit lvl 76, and said there would be a new merit system for level 99.

I'm just happy that everything people have been so dramatic and QQing over at 75 will soon become insignificant. Hopefully this will help people pull their heads out of their ***.

It's a whole new game now, and I'm very happy about it.

Cause PLD with a -enmity JA would be boss right?

we dont have the full story yet, and as always probably wont until preorder. I doubt SE has had a team re-coding the entire game, plus another enormous expansion, all while getting ffxiv ready

I miss the feeling I got when I first played this game 3 years ago. ; ;

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT don't cry tsukime be a big girl!

^for anyone who doesn't believe it

maybe servers will re-fill with re-activations and we wont have to wait for parties anymore. it will be great like the old days. until RMT exploit it, and ruin the game AGAIN

PLD/NIN with Yonin -- not Innin -- but yeah, I agree.

Making the new level cap 99 isn't going to fix any of the complaints that people currently have with their 75s, especially with the intelligence SE has been utilizing in adding recent equipment and fixes to the game economy. I don't care what people say, the Evolith system is a pile of ***.

yeah, sorry my mistake
i always get the names of those two mixed up

For all the QQers, I'll say it again:

because of RL ive only been able to play off and on over the years. as a result ive never gotten to dive deep in to EG. I've done it a few times for fun but thats about it. I have plenty I want to finish before xiv comes out. but if the cap really is moving to 99, and the better question is if so when? then i really do feel bad for everyone who has invested so much time to get all that gear they think makes them better than me. cause lets face it. thats a lot of your life SE just made you feel you wasted

Guys, this is honestly not ***. I was shitting my pants for a good hour straight. I don't speak a word of JP but I clearly understood "Level Cap" and saw the PLD & RDM lv up to 76 followed by a screen with 99 written in gold and the announcers clearly said "Level Cap" again. This is no rumor. Heck they even had pictures of a WHM using convert and a PUP busting out a Chi Blast.
I agree with the res of your guys, after 8 years raising cap by 24 lvs is crazy! Imagine that grind and all the balance issues. All you RDMs out there, you can kiss the job goodbye, they are only used as MP *** and now anyone can just the same. Can you say SCH99/RDM49?
I keep thinking it's a bad joke but we are nowhere near April 1st.

I think they only did this to divide the crowd between those that (now have a reason to) stay with FFXI and those who will make the jump to XIV.

World of Final Fantasy Craft.

I think a month is pretty near.

For all the QQers, think about this:

Isn't it a common bitching among lots of people these days that there aren't enough people to do things with, like missions and such? With these higher level caps, it'll take less people to do things, so more mission fights could possibly be done and people could enjoy more stories and all that jazz.

Just something to think about.

is maat fight going to move from 70 to something else? or keep it and add more LBs? or just be nice and not make us waste more time? why dont we have any information on how it works or what it effects if its true?

And more than welcome to voice our displeasure.

Well it's either

A) Embrace it
B) Quit
or C) QQ moar.

Q_Q cry me a *** river?

you would be surprised at what SEI can do
