[Discussion] Having multiple classes worth it in this game?

Thank you Captain Obvious.

Keep 'em coming. Probably it's just me who feels it's lacking when I can't use multiple jobs in the same content (Particularly coil).

I am on Durandal which is a JP server, and having multiple classes/jobs really allows me to have a much easier time finding groups. Durandal being a PUG heavy group I am able to pug different turns of Coil on different jobs. Last week I went to Coil 1 and 2 on DRG then 4 on BLM. Few weeks before that I also pugged turn 5 on PLD. In this case, having multiple jobs is definitely huge plus for me.

Especially when you consider that theres nothing stopping you asking for/rolling on loot for a different job. Had a T1 run on my Monk last week whereby neither Healer needed the drops, so they said to greed it if you had a class at 50, so we did. I didn't win it, but the point is that you can't do that if you run multiple characters for different Jobs.
I like the freedom to play whichever class i want and still farm the Tomes to get DL/Myth/CT gear for a totally different job.

On Durandal there are groups where you are allowed to declare one item as your "wish list" or a job as your "job" even though you are on a different job and roll accordingly, I imagine this is the same on other JP servers. This of course is a honor system and can be taken advantage of, but the chance of it happening is quite small on a JP server.
