How does Leveling work now?

Then playing it is pointless, the storylines can be beaten in 1~2 days, the only restriction is on the pointless (wait until japanese midnight.)

Even with the JP midnight restrictions, there's 8 different storylines, plus 3 more for each city, that will still takes months.

and actually that is BS, you can only learn from abyssea if you pay attention, which you will find the majority of leeches do not

You don'teven have to pay attention, you don't even have to put any effort into a job. They're all laid out pretty strait forward and anyone can learn them nearly by the JA/spell lists alone.
