I wish Square would give us the option to start the new classes at level 1

I too would prefer new jobs to start off at a lower level. Leveling is one of the great parts of an MMO -- watching my character grow, getting new gear, the empowerment of learning a new skill or spell. Even hearing that familiar "LEVEL UP" jingle is one of the genre's little joys. I don't think we necessarily have to start at level 1 though. The extremely limited skill set at that low a level is just not very interesting. I think starting at 50 or 60 might be a good place to give us a "new job starter kit" and go from there.

Rather than making it optional to start at a lower level, how about the job starts off lower by default but you can buy an xp boosting consumable? I don't know if it would cost gil, or tomestones, or whatever else. It shouldn't come at so high a price that it's a problem for anyone to buy them, but it shouldn't be a negligible cost either. Just enough so players can weigh their options, and decide if it's worth it for them to fast-track the new job or level normally at their leisure.



I don't want to see any more nonsense with base classes and job stones, but I am 100% with you on wanting more job story quests. I accept that we have "role quests" now instead of job quests, at least for existing jobs. There are just so many jobs now, and if they keep adding more with each expansion, something's gotta give. But I feel that new jobs don't get enough love. The Sage quests especially, were completely uninteresting to me. I honestly can't even remember what happened in them, or who any of the characters in that story were. And we'll never have anything more about it. That was literally the entire existence of Sage, narratively.

We don't need to have the same amount of quests throughout the leveling process as old jobs got, but if new jobs started at 50 or 60, maybe... a job quest every 5 levels or so? That's still plenty of time to establish some more "class fantasy" and lore.

How about we dont force ideas on others ?

That sounds like a good plan.

You can stay away with that idea lmao, that's the level these jobs start at, I aint paying to get a "level up", either via gil or mog station or even an item, it's fine the way it is, just make an alt.

Honestly not even needed to make an alt. All parts of the leveling experience sync them down anyway so if they really wanted to they could just run low level dungeons in order or run early PotD. Job quests are also replayable.
