Level Cap Raise Requirements.

wow that's something i really see SE doing lol, as to what to do in the 3 weeks of waiting, trying to get all my ***to 49.. or at least NIN/DRK/SCH/DNC/SAM.

You and me both man!!

I really cant see them nerfing lvl 75 group 1/2 merit setup, if anything to get 76+ you would simply have to switch over to xp mode, and gain the xp to level up as normal, but if youre 75 you would still be able to switch and do merits as normal... if they add new group 3 merits, i would assume you would have to gain whatever level they become accessible at. then simply switch over mode to merits for that level and do the same as 75

(hoping its this simple at least)

I really hope so, if there are group 3 merits it will be post 99 most likely.

I would wager it has nothing to do with limit points, etc... and probably has everything to do with the magian system of somesort

10 gil says the 'requirement' is capped merits in the job you wish to progress.

man i hope not

Straight XP is what I am hoping for. There is enough quest in this game!!

i was kinda thinking something like this also, but then again, who would stop lvl'ing to 80 to merit, so then i kinda thought that they would just put merits at w/e lvl cap for the time is, untill 99. and maybe making the spells/abilitys from merits a little stronger or something dunno

I'm more worried about how they plan to handle merits which grant higher tiers of existing spells (Slow II for RDM, tier II AM for BLM, or tier III ninjitsu, for example). In 24 levels, it's entirely feasible that we could potentially see things like Slow III or tier IV ninjitsu, although those might be borderline broken. If we don't get higher tiers than those which already exist for those spells, then it's hard to believe that RDM would not learn Slow II naturally from 76-99. In the case of BLM, tier V nukes stand to make AM2 obsolete.

There are a couple ways around it, I suppose. The best solution, I think, is to make all these spells learned natively from 76-99 and simply restructure the existing merits so that they affect all tiers. For example, Freeze II would simply become "Freeze Potency" which would grant the standard +3 magic burst damage and +5 magic accuracy for all tiers of Ancient Magic (or the +potency and +magic accuracy for all tiers of slow... you get the idea).

I suppose we'll just wait and see. I just hope Square Enix doesn't make ***tonnes of merits completely useless with this level cap increase, and I don't see very many ways around that in some cases.

finish wotg complete

@ouchi to your last post: i can see that coming.

Some ***... Nuff said.

Bad 'shop because I'm tired and bored but lulz away.

I really hope this is the case.

I can see capped group1/2 merits being a requirement

Vision of Abyssea comes out the same time, right? Wouldn't surprise me if you had to own it to be able to level higher.

Yeah seems the most likely idea.
