Genkai

Translated from Japanese, genkai means "strict guard". This is in reference to Maat himself, for he is the strict guard you must confront to progress past the level caps. Each time you confront the genkai, he will give you a task you must complete for him. Once you do this, he will deem you worthy to progress a little further, raising your level cap by 5 each time.

The first task you must complete raises the level cap from 50 to 55. The last task, arguably the hardest, you must confront the genkai directly in combat, and defeat him. Conditions for defeating him differ from job to job, but once you do defeat him, your level cap is raised from 70 to the current maximum of 75.
