this may sound like a really dumb question but what is the FFXI level  cap?

75 i think.

i think its 75

Last time I checked it was 75. But that was like a year ago so it may have changed.

Yep it's 75 still, there are tons of classes now also.

This may be another dumb question, is it worth getting into this game now or has it gotten to the point where I am better off waiting for 14?

Well they announced last night at their VanaFest event in Tokyo that the level cap will be increased gradually to 99 by the end of the year.
