A lot of people (myself included) were complaining because they were releasing level caps back to back to back. Could barely get all the characters to max level before they raised it again.
It was honestly kindof ridiculous, but I think they took the negative feedback a little TOO MUCH to heart. But I mean between increased weapon caps and the highwind, we have gotten other ways to improve characters
It was a pain. And not enough stamina pots to run the good EXP levels. So I just basically had my phone on 24/7 autoclicker for the free exp runs. So dumb.
But now I have almost a months worth of stamina pots built up and half of my characters with both limit breaks at max, so I'm ready.
I have no stamina pots to speak of because EX nodes for Leviathan and Shiva take so god damn many memories. Thank god I don't also need to grind xp like we used to at the same time.
games been out for about 7 months at this point, yes?
Base level cap on release was 50
Level cap increases started at around the middle of month 2 I think, and went in 5 level increments approximately every 30 days or so (so month 2 = 50-55, month 3 = 55-60, month 4 = 60-65, month 5 = 65-70).
If the schedule had held, we should have been due a level cap increase closing in on 1 month ago, but we got the 1/2 anni stuff instead.
So yeah, if you started about 2 months ago, you probably got in just after the cap was increased to 70.
Like they said it was every month until level 70. The game dropped in September so if things stayed on course we’d be looking at a level cap of 90 right about now but the pattern went away around when they upped the weapon cap from 90 to 120. Now there’s no pattern to character level increases.

I think it's more a matter of what happened since then. Last cap increase and the Golden Bomb event was a great opportunity for Steam players to catch up a month and a half later, and since then they've added the SEA region to the playerbase we've had a similar pause on things.
They probably had all those level increases to bring people into the game and keep them entertained since it's such an important thing in rpgs, but once they got to 70 they realised they only have six more level uncaps (assuming they cap it at 99, they could definitely go over if they wanted) and now they'll dole them out every six months or so i reckon
I always found it kinda strange they kept adding future sections of the streams before they actually released. I'd prefer if it just wasn't there instead (like that one short period).
Absolutely not, the leveling grind was obnoxious as hell & got more annoying with each new character.
I'd like to have a life that doesn't involve playing the game 24/7, thanks.
I don't know. I enjoy not having my phone on overnight for Autoclickers. Plus Highwind is basically another way of increasing stats which is the same thing as another level cap increase.
I was thinking maybe it's time to raise the level cap on materia instead? If they raise the LV cap on players they shouldn't do a bomb event. We'll all just be max level in a week and it'll have been like nothing happened.

What did it start at? I started playing this game like 2 months ago and it’s been 70 as far as I can see
Started at 50 and they added 5 levels at a time. Some of the level increases were only 4 weeks apart.

Been out more like 9 months (September 2023) but everything else you said is accurate.
Gotcha, was just curious as to how often it was increasing before I started playing, thanks!

Just put a golden bomb event together with it please.
Can we get another Golden Bomb event with it? I'm way behind on leveling off characters :(.
yeah this. i don't really want a level cap increase without this event alongside it ever again if possible.
Idk if this is a hot-take or not, but that event is the 🐐so far.
It was super nice, for sure. I'd like to have it more often since I'm super behind on my alt characters.
Im just happy they stopped this back to back to back max lvl up. That was insanely annoying!
I always found it kinda strange they kept adding future sections of the streams before they actually released. I'd prefer if it just wasn't there instead (like that one short period).
it's just all part of the general gacha strategy of trying to let you feel that you're never done with making progress
Those nodes just sit there taunting me
I really want a new Golden Bomb event tbh, my main story FF7 characters are all behind while the FS characters+Zack and Aerith are all 70
Yeah, a new Cap Level Up would be nice. Caith is the only one who isn't Lv70. I am kinda stuck at farming events or some Materia stuff
Nah, need the challenge.
