That actually would be kinda cool, depending of course how the mechanics were handled.

One of the things I have liked about this game is the low level cap, I think they should just leave it alone. It's not fun to grind levels on a character that was capped before. Not to mention the only fun part about even leveling is the class stories and they end at around 50.

I hate level cap increases....I'm still mad that this game was raised to 55. Lucky for me I will probably be long gone before they raise the cap again as this game has pretty much ran its course.

Personally, I enjoy leveling and think adding more and more tiers of gear for lvl 55 to be ridiculous. My 55s gather dust. I drag them out for an occasional weekly so their armor isn't tragically out of date for when they do raise the level cap. The raising of the level cap is the most exciting confirmation to come out of the last cantina stop as far as I'm concerned.
My name is Milind. I checked it again and can confirm you there is no bug with any companion in the game.

Have fun never having an abundance of content then I guess?

One of the greatest things about FFXI was that the level cap stayed the same for almost 10 years and they continued to add content while keeping old content completely relevant. It was scaled horizontally instead of vertically. So while new gear from the new content was better, it didn't blow the old gear out of the water because the level cap was never raised and the stats were not blown out of the water. Kirin's osode was actually still one of the best chest pieces of the game and it came from one of the earliest boss fights.

Increasing level cap is LAZY and it ruins old content by making it no longer viable. Its a terrible design.

I wouldn't call it lazy at all, I call it progress.

More like piss poor progress, which this game has excelled in since the announcement of F2P

Making old content irrelevant by increasing level caps is progress? I don't want to know what backwards nonsense goes on in your head.

Idk honestly.

I like having more stuff to do and level cap increases makes old content obsolete

Just keep adding more stuff on top of the stuff we already have.

Variety it what is needed IMO
