I know one of the main things about this game is the ability to play multiple classes on one character.

BUT, the reasons you list here are the main reason I am considering just literally creating an alt character for different combat classes.

If I do create a new character than I can get all the quests back, I can choose a different free company, and I can experiment around with starting in a new city.

It kind of defeats the purpose of being able to play multiple combat classes on my one character. But, I do not really feel like fate grinding to 50..and I really don't like the idea of trying to do fates alone from 1-40.

The way I see it is they give us 8 character slots..I might as well use some of them.
