Final Fantasy XIV Won’t Have Experience Points

Final Fantasy XIV producer Hiromichi Tanaka revealed that the upcoming MMO title won't include experience points or level systems.

Instead, the game will employ a unique job system.

"people who may never have tried an online game before have the freedom to try many different things and tackle any number of quests and grow naturally from their experiences … That's our priority: players enjoying the process of character growth," explicó.

"We believe the main factor behind Final Fantasy XI's lasting appeal is the job system. However, the system will become something completely different. The focus here will be on weapons. Your weapon will determine how you play. Your weapon will determine how you fight."
