I'm attempting to do the same thing, but I may have made a poor choice of jobs in this game(scholars are good, I'm told, but the amount of skilling up I have to do is pretty outrageous), and an even poorer choice of letting myself be powerleveled. Now I'm spending a good deal of time playing catch-up as I skill up three weapons and six schools of magic. Would it be a total copout if I just unlocked samurai instead?
You can't go wrong in FFXI with having multiple jobs, Sam and Sch are both rather popular "endgame" jobs, for a lot of good content.
But for your own personal needs, having multiple jobs is always useful, it's rough to gear multiple, but it's by no means a copout and nice to have options.
I am also starting to play this and ARR. Back when this came out, I didn't have the cash, or the internet speed, to play this game. Had to at least try it, and I'm excited to see how good it is. Shug Deathbringer on ARR, Ilvl 87 Pld and 76 WM.
