Job points = another form of merit points?

sounded to me like you need a 99 to get a limit breaker but the job points are job specific, in other words if you have 16 99s you don't need 16 limit breakers. but if you want job points on geo you need to be playing geo to get them. not sure if you can accumulate points in more than 1 job or if this is going to be like Guild points, where starting them on alch means saying goodbye to all the ones you earned on leather.

I read more when I got home on BG. JP update post says level 96+ mobs grant capacity points, so yeah, you have to gain them at high level. Also, 30k capacity points for 1 job point, with a max stored of 200 JP, is 6 million capacity points to top out, and like merits, will probably take more than cap to max out a character. I don't see people maxing out more than one job in the near future.

Also, having capacity points and exp/merit points stack, so you can earn both at once, means you can increase your character stats while farming merit points for new high level battles, like AA/DM/SF. You aren't forced to choose to either farm points for a key item to do a burning circle battle or to increase your abilities.
