»I wonder how far SE has plans to take master levels in the future? Imagine if they raised it high enough at some point that we could get LVL. 99 sub jobs?
How much would that break the game?
This kind of system, in particular now seeing that it will affect subjob level, can easily mean two things for FFXI...but one thing it certainly doesn't mean is stability.
Either they're giving the players this kind of boost in individual character power, anticipating smaller groups for content and more soloing; or we're getting more power because we're gonna need it for what's to come, because where we are now won't be enough. I won't speculate on which it is, as this is a thread about the November update, but I do think its fair to say that SE wouldn't be giving us this kind of change if they only planned more of the same for the remainder of FFXI's life.
