To me this is sounding essentially like "Group 3" Job specific merits, but you must earn them on the job you're meriting for. Which is a fine and dandy and fun idea, and I love that we're finally getting them. (Though I was kinda hoping they'd be tied to monstrosity in some way.)

However, in the current state of the game, it will be extremely slow for some classes to earn these points (Whm, for example) compared to other jobs, I hope either this is taken into account in some way, or the incentive for party play is raised, because I already feel sad for all the poor Whms meleeing with their trusts frustratedly trying to earn some job points.
