Awesome! Though I hope they'll expand these numbers a bit further in the future. This is a good start but I'm afraid with the experience rates in Abyssea we're going to hit cap within 2-3 parties.
Looking forward to these changes :)

To allow for further customization and augmentation of jobs that have already reached their current leveling limits, Square Enix has announced the expansion of the merit point system. In addition to allowing more merits to be used per category, but also the maximum number of upgrades for certain merit abilities will also receive a boost.
