I personally prefer still using them to level (still fast, but not as fast as the new zones), but most other people mostly choose the quick way. Unfortunately, old areas have become rather empty due to this. If you want to use a job for endgame content, you have to get Job Points for it, but if not, you can try it out all you want and still be decent without spending months on leveling it. So no, if you thought this game has become a solo experience, it definitely has not.ĭue to the fast leveling, now everyone can play every job they want because it simply doesn't take long to level them.
It will take a lot of time to get you to capped Job Points (called "Job Master") and you'll be playing with other people all the time. They are the new Exp Parties, with the only exception that you will stay at one place all the time. Thus, the so-called "Apex Parties" have formed. Those take a lot and lot of time and if you try to do this on your own, you'll probably be playing for a year and still not be able to cap them out. In order to make the most out of your job, you have to acqire Job Points, the "new Merit Points" if you will. And there's a new kind of leveling: Job Points. Old content can be soloed, that's true, but endgame will and definitely will always require real people. But please don't stop reading yet, for the game in its core hasn't changed. What did that result in? Everyone just get's to Level 99 on their own very fast. And you can summon your favorite NPCs to replace missing party members. What else happened? Well, you can level pretty fast nowadays. Those are pretty much about as good as the other endgame weapons, but are obtained in a very different way and just as time consuming. With the 119 era, a new line of Ultimate Weapons has been introduced, the Aeonic Weapons (Those Weapons are called REMA-Weapons, Relic-Empyrean-Mythic-Aeonic). They are seriously amazing weapons at 121 and almost nothing comes close to how destructive they are.
Same for Relic Weapons, Mythic Weapons and Empyrean Weapons. The Artifact / Relic / Empyrean 121 armor pieces are without a doubt some of the best pieces of gear, so they are still worth it if you got them back in the days. So yeah, you basically obtain a 75 weapon or armor piece and then spend hours to reforge it into a Item Level 119 version (Quick Info: At Level 99 which still is max level, you can equip equipment that effectively makes you a higher level, up to 121). The thing is, those things are more easy to get now (Relic, Mythic and Empyrean Weapons are still very time consuming though), but you need to put a lot of time into them so you can reforge them into the versions you can use in current endgame. Defending Ring is still one of the best pieces in the game. Yes, you heard me right, it's all still a thing, Artifact Armor, Relic Armor, Empyrean Armor, Relic Weapons, Mythic Weapons, Empyrean Weapons and so on. So what has become of the old endgame? As you can probably guess, most of the former endgame is now easily soloable, but you still need most of it to get the gear you want. This was the time when most people quit, especially after Abyssea.
Square Enix raised the level cap to 99 instead of good old 75. Let me tell you one thing in beforehand: A lot has changed, but: Almost everything you acquired back in the days will still be of worth in the current endgame. So yeah, if you are a returning player, you probably ask yourself what has become of this game. So if you've never heard of the 75 era, you might want to skip this section and only potentially come back later once you've gotten to know the game for a bit. Warning: This section might be confusing for new players.
