Jobs start @50?

Do Not Want, Rage Quit. lol Seriously this so freaking counters everything FFXIV was advertised to me. I think this alone might have just broken my will to stay, I don't think Female Roegadyn are strong enough to keep me playing now.

I feel the same.. the only reason I want to be here now is male and female Miqo'te but... more than just a character we can relate to, we need content. I'm really not looking forward to jobs at all now if they're just being handed to use like this. I was hoping to LEARN my job and TAKE TIME leveling and growing and improving my job. I love leveling. I hate endgame. If they take leveling away and just put me in endgame.. well there's no point in me even being here.

I love SE.. I just wish they wouldn't take everything I love from this game.

Hi Nabiri,

I empathize with you. I originally approached FF XIV like FF XI, thinking that we'd focus on "1 Main Job" and a Sub perhaps, really more about depth (long time in leveling up that 1 class), but since Day 1 until now (and especially with the faster SP updates now), it's clear that that is not the focus of FF XIV.

It feels more like they want us to explore the breadth of classes and it's more "horizontal" than "vertical" so to speak. So more like trying out a bunch of Jobs ala Final Fantasy Tactics or FF V or FF XIII. With that focus and fast SP, the leveling up becomes a chore since we have so few areas to rank up in. Sure we can take our time, but even not trying, just doing Guildleve Parties and Linking, and an occasional SP Party, you get to Rank 50 pretty fast.

Having to *repeat* the entire grind from Rank 1 - 50 over and over and over again for multiple Classes is a chore already (revisiting Nanawa Mines, Broken Water, or doing the popular Cedarwood Leves, or grinding Efts or Raptors), and I couldn't imagine going to the same areas and fighting the same monsters if we had to rank the new Jobs up from 1 to 50 as well.

I'm glad you enjoy the grind, and I respect your opinion. Just that for me, I'd rather spend my time on real content, something more meaningful than just grinding Rank 1 - 50 again over and over. If you're curious about some potential stuff that could be more meaningful content, I posted up some specifics here:
