Job Customization

I don't think we have to worry about that here.
My reasoning is quite simple, Just how many FF games are there? the Art Team here has a ridiculous catalog of armor themes and such they can use. The Vanity System they go with will only enhance that, so we if we don'thappen to like the one thats currently the highest ilvls, we can always use a previous set we DID like.
We also have the ability for them to drop in straight up cosmetic sets for armor that was iconic or popular in older FF titles.

But for all of its looks, it will come through raid raids and more raids, to the detriment of all other content.

Why level your chocobo? Get some friends, noob!
Why craft? dungeon#30's drops are practically required, you know?
Why---etc.

Not true. I doubt the Lightning FATE event will be the last of its kind.
We may even see craftable statless gear that just has a unique look for the Vanity system. We know we get to make furniture items for houses. Would be silly not to utilize that for equipment also.
FATEs, Dungeons, Raids, DoL/DoH even PvP may all see some way to pick up unique gear sets.
