Job points = another form of merit points?

[Sasaraixx]

I want to know where this information excluding Abyssea was obtained. The Japanese post for [Dev1188] is at: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...-「ジョブポイント」について and I've ran it through both Google and Bing translators. There is no mention whatsoever regarding "Abyssesa" specifically; barring that there's no mention for anything related to "Cannot earn" or "Not able to" anything. The translated JP text mirrors the EN post besides weird grammar; in fact, comparing the two posts they're identical in layout and style, there's not a sentence missed anywhere.

That is because you are looking at the wrong post. You need to read Lomloon's response to the thread [dev1188] 「ジョブポイント」について started on March 6th, not the original post from March 5th. (For some reason I can't cut and paste the link.) The response is on the first page. The relevant text is:

アビセアではキャパシティポイントは得られない仕様です。
フィールドのモンスター、もしくは一部のコンテンツのモンスターを倒すことで
キャパシティポイントは得られます。

Edit: Actually I can copy the link. It just looks very strange
