Level cap 100. Why?

[Yi Mei]

I think the maximum level of the game should be more than level 100. The New Game + loses a bit of emotion if you are already at maximum level. Maybe you can leave infinite level, increasing the requirement to level up.

Start a new game plus and the first encounter will still start with Lv6. i don't see any point in transfering the Level to a NG+ at all, so a higher Level Cap wouldn't grant any benefits or solve anything.

Well, the game doesn't have enough endgame content to warrant a higher level cap (not complaining here, just stating facts).

The bigger problem is that if you don't carry over levels to NG+, then you also lose all stat gains from herbs. Now THIS is pretty lame. You have to carry over the level and herb stats together.

Strange previous games you could go up to 200 eventually. Wonder why they reduced it to 100. Considering all the older games never had anything at those dizzy heights of levels in the way of mobs at all.

Oh well :)

Berseria and Zestiria had endgame dungeons with mobs up to level 200. Symphonia and Vesperia, too, had challenging endgame content.

The game just wasn't designed with the scaling to warrant it.

If you want games with absurd level caps try games by the developer Tri-Ace such as Star Ocean series and Radiata Stories. They tend to cap at 255 (main games usually have you around level 40-60 by completion) and these levels are practical as the post game content are typically pretty insane with excellent bosses (a huge number of bosses and not lame ones, at that) and are often rather lengthy for at least one dungeon (sometimes offering several dungeons and additional superbosses on top of the primary uber dungeon). You will usually finish those post game by around level 220-255. That said, aside from cheating via editors/Gameshark/etc. due to a lack of NG+ you wont really see those levels before post game content. Their games are pretty much acclaimed best post game content for around nearly two decades now. Unfortunately, only Star Ocean 4 is available on the PC (widely regarded as the worst along with SO5 in the series), though the others are available on PS4/Switch/etc. The series, as a whole, tend to have much better boss fights than almost any JRPG despite looking initially simple, too, except the final superboss in Radiata Stories which is BS scaling making you a back line item based healer while you try to keep your AI teammates alive...

If you simply like reaching absurd numbers for the fun of it then:

I've not gotten around to playing Disgaea, myself, but know at least some of the entries feature ridiculous numbers though I'm not sure which but Steam has several of them. No idea if there is an established play order for story/world building, either, so you may have to Google it if you care.

I remember in the Ar Tonelico games I could achieve damage numbers in the hundreds of thousands to the millions. Not on Steam, though, will need appropriate consoles. Good games, especially Ar Tonelico II which has some of the best character development in the industry for female heroines and romance. Game might be too twitch heavy hard for some, though, but there are uber cheeses too if you really must... and tons of extra side quests (but lots of good dialogue/development as a reward).

The Neptunia JRPG franchise also features large numbers I believe I've seen but I've never touched the franchise so idk much about it:

In Final Fantasy X you can break damage and HP limits and go into 99,999 territory, and there are multi-hit attacks that can push dmg into the millions.

Because you level slower in this game.

All of them get to ridiculous numbers, but 6 especially does.

The main games tend to be levels 1-99 (for 1-5) or 1-9,999 (for 6), but the level cap in the postgame is raised to 9,999 for 1-5 and 99,999,999 for 6.

There's no real required play order. There are a lot of cameos and DLC characters from earlier entries in the series, and they take place in the same multiverse, but each story is independent.

It doesn't matteer if you have 200 levels or 100 levels in the slightest.
