    yeah they should make leveling up much faster, if the other Final Fantasy games took this long to cap, no one would have finished those games. mmorpgs shouldn't be just for the elitists who are already capped. it's still a game, the TNL is after 30 too much of a grind for people with real lives.

    99% of the XI population will never cap all Jobs in their lifetime at this rate, or even one Job to 99, unless they sacrifice their brain cells. :p

    If things keep going as they are now, lvl 76-99 means 1 564 000 experience points. Should I remind you 1-75 is "only" about 84,535

      You missed a 0.

      Experience Points - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more Somebody already put in blank tables for 76-99.

        She eventually straightened out and was admitted back in months later, though i personally think still playing the game was among the last things she should have been doing. This chick was in her 40s, too, well beyond the age of knowing better.

        Like I said, though, its not the game that does this to people, something was wrong with that woman well before FFXI came into the picture. Most of us are just there to have fun, but for some people its all about power and control, about feeling like a winner.

        You'll have a leader that condemns the use of SMN but comes to every event as his THF. You'll have incredibly skilled and smart players stoop to training UFOs on a Jailer fight just to steal the Jailer (at leas thats how one Titan LS used to deal with things).

        Maybe I just have a streak of bad luck on guilds to counter my good fortune on jobs and my ability to play them well and lead events well, but damn man, the most sickening thing is after people pull stunts like this they have the audacity to tell me its "just a game." Like I'm the one that needs to be told.

          1- FFXI is not other final fantasies
          2- Comparing MMO and offline game EXP curves is on the borderline of showing evidence of a mental disability.
          3- Plenty of people with real lives enjoy FFXI just fine.
          4- Why the fuck should getting every job to the level cap be a reasonable goal?

            It would make me smile if every genkai quest from here out was like Shattering Stars. Some solo challenge that gauges your skill at your job. 99 should be a prestige level.

              now my brain hurts, this is so changing the dynamics of how each job is played, its like having a gameshark turned on. i think im just gonna wait it out for ffxiv and play some aion in the meantime when i get back to the states, if anything i'd get back on bst as a main with this update, but it seems like they are just letting loose and moving their focus to ffxiv. i think overall its gonna kill the need to balance and work in large scale groups, which is what makes endgame so much fun. although it will make things like sky and sea gear much more attainable for everyone.

                I agree, though not so much about making it a prestige thing (a groupthink strategy for each would be posted to FFXIclopedia within days, easily, if not hours) as much as just making it some sort of fun and exciting challenge. Unlikely though I know it may be, it would be even more awesome if each challenge were job-specific.

                Also, while we're on the subject . . . I can't help but wonder if Adventuring fellows would be able to be raised to level 94 some time in the distant future.

                I wasn't going to give your comments any acknowledgment, but a thought occurred to me: I'm a Red Mage. I could probably melee solo Genbu at level 99! XD Oh, and of course, inb4 AV being possible to low-man (as well as the subsequent inevitable "they're going to change it so it's unbeatable again" from the tin hat group, natch).

                    Sure, if the gameshark also increases the difficulty...of the mobs you'll be fighthing when your 99... ?

                    My theory:

                    E.body warrior, Perdu Voluge, etc. Good gear right? at level 99 probably not.

                    1. Do "Trial of the Magians" to put 6% haste, +10% double attack, -10% Dmg taken on the E.body

                    2. Do "Trial of the Magians" to put +20-30 DMG, -10% Delay, +10% Critical Hit rate, +10% to Berserk

                    3. So you got your E(pic).body and your voluge of kick assery. You can rape fafnir solo right?

                    4. No, most likely those "augments" are only gonna work in the new areas, specific areas, etc. So in Dragons aery, you'll be level 99, plenty of HP, more Gaxe Skill, More Magic Attack, etc. But your e.body is a regular old e.body, your Duelist chapeau's Haste +5% isn't in affect, etc.

                    5. But, fafnir is still gonna probably be hitting you for 100ish dmg, and he still attacks fairly quick, so look at faf/hog as a possible King Arthuro.

                    6. Also you still have to worry about claiming, unfortunatley

                    This has probalby already been conjectured in here, but either way. I think if you continue to play FFXI, you'll have alot of work to do for the next year or 3.

                      Another thought: they also weren't kidding when they were boasting that the news was going to be "mind-blowing". Note to self: next time you underestimate Square-Enix, do so with caution.

                        And thats when you quit the linkshell, and find a linkshell that actually likes to have fun, and allows the use of another linkshell. I joined a linkshell that said I couldn't be in my Social, I quit it instantly, then I got tons of spam from the leader saying that I stole shit from them, when I didn't even go to an event yet, and I was only in it for one day to find out that I couldn't use my Social LS. I just bitched them out, then put them on my Block list. lol. Quite funny how it worked out.

                          I can only start over some many times with endgame LSes before i get sick of dealing with the bullshit. The game design might have influenced initial behaviors and strategies, but the game design does not have influence on other social oddities like "you can only have one LS."

                          They spin it as "staying on the same page" but its really just about control and fuck those guys, I'll socialize with who I want to. The second you tell me my social has to be out of the picture you have lost my respect and shown me you're incapable of having trust in others.

                          If you want to have events and schedule them and I can be online, I'll be there. But drop whatever i'm doing to go kill yet another HNM? Piss off. Maybe it it was actually a fun NM, like Xoltol or something, but run the rat race to Faffy? I'll pass, thanks.

                            FFXI has changed. It's no longer about conquest, competition, and cooperation. It's an endless series of camps, grinding players and lolRMT. FFXI -- and its consumption of life -- has become a well-oiled machine.

                            FFXI has changed. Min/maxed players carry min/maxed weapons, use min/maxed gear. Modifications inside their clients enhance and regulate their job abilities. Racial selection. Chat filters. /blist. Client control. Everything is monitored and kept under control.

                            FFXI has changed. The age of discovery has become the age of control... All in the name of faster meripos. And he who controls the client... controls who gets claim.

                            FFXI has changed. When the client is under total control... FFXI becomes routine.

                                5. But, fafnir is still gonna probably be hitting you for 100ish dmg, and he still attacks fairly quick, so look at faf/hog as a possible King Arthuro.
                                Without that 13-15 level advantage over you, he will neither hit you nearly as hard or as accurately nor would he be as hard to hit or damage, even if you still had the stats and skills of a 75. You also wouldn't have nearly as many problems enfeebling it. You could probably solo it.

                                Level difference is the real reason EXP mobs and HNMs are hard, their stats are pretty unimpressive otherwise. Take that away and you have a tremendous advantage even if your stats don't improve.
