About the ps3 comment. Just imagine how many pc players reached their xp limit at any given time. Now imgaine a brand new ps3 player who wants to xp with a group. If you prefer soloing then it might not be a problem, but some people hate solo'ing and some quest/mission will require team work. One good thing however, you'll still get gil and items. I'm just saying, it is going to be tough and a deal breaker.

 

I can't elaborate any better than that.

No it won't.  Have you even played FFXI?  Have you even played any MMO?

There are new players all the time, especially with the release of the game on a new platform.  If a game couldn't handle new players then that would be a terrible game and would simply be doomed to fail.  I don't really know why you think that the game would fail without these limits unless you've just never played an MMO.

As for FFXI, you can switch jobs at any time and you can do the same thing in FFXIV.  Lets pretend you get to level 75 Ranger and you decide you feel like a change or need a subjob or want to level with a buddy.  You just switch to Black Mage and BOOM you're a level 1 Black Mage (assuming you hadn't already leveled BLM).  Even when FFXI was 5 years old and there weren't a lot of new players it was still pretty easy to find a low level group and level different jobs.  The FFXI community actually almost depended on you having different jobs leveled so there were constantly people in the low level areas leveling other jobs.

So yeah, it wouldn't matter if there was no limit and the PS3 or any other console came a year later.  The lower level content will not be used up and there will be people leveling lower level jobs.

 

Like I said, If you have no problem soloing by yourself, it wont be a big deal. But, some people may prefer partying in a group, like me. I pre ordered the pc version already but, I'm just saying. It could be tough for some people.

Yes I play FFXI, and Final Fantasy XI has no exp limits, so that is a big difference right there.

No, you cannot switch jobs at anytime in FFXI. You need to go into your Mog House.
