Sounds lame to me. The reason they did it this way was so you wouldn't have to take specalisations up to 50 and suffer for it like you do in FFXI. No, even now, a WHM isn't going to be able to solo well in FFXI for your average player. God knows what it's like to level BRD up.
Who says that leveling PLD has to be the same experience as leveling GLA? We really have no idea at this point how different the classes would be. Plus you can always adapt a new approach when you start anew. It's only boring and lame if you make it that way by choosing to repeat all your previous actions.
