Nah, you're not wrong. Though, to be specific, these are the things Team Yoshida have stated in interviews, "might be fun," "are things they are looking into," and "might happen in the future." There aren't any concrete plans yet, though the one that interests me most is the cross-class job requirements, like if you have a 30CON you can start WHM, and if you have a 30THM you can start BLM, but if you have both you can also start RDM.
It leaves the door open for a LOT of work specializing yourself without quite as much of the mindless mob grinds. You should have to earn it, but there's a point where it feels numbing.
I've found that, much like FFXI, the cures that seem like they would be for "at level" are actually for emergencies once in a while. When you've got your archers on the skeles, it's much easier to manage a simple, slow rotation of Dia, Stoneskin and Curaga 1 whenever you know you won't make the jump to red - supplementing Cure II when one member dips below the rest.
If it becomes a meme, I hope they use the Old Spice picture I made.... the bottom right at least.
