Confused by classes/crafting.

XIV is unique like that - you can take literally every job to 50 and have them all completely maxed out in gear - all on one character. It's all just a matter of how much time you, personally, are willing to invest!

Honestly, if you plan to craft, it's a great idea to get all crafts to 15 at some point, even if you only plan to 'main' one crafter all the way to 50. The level 15 skills from crafting are actually each unique, and can be transferred onto the other classes to help out. Level 37 and 50 skills are also unique and crossclassable, but those are obviously a far more significant time investment.

Far from being unique (Eden Eternal had this before FF) and perhaps another one before.

SE looked at all MMOs and took a bit of this one and a bit of that one.. (Eden Eternal, GW2 Dynamic Events (FATEs), gold titles when you change maps or location (SWTOR) etc...)

OP - That said - Garlyle just hit the nail with his second comment.

Welcome to Eorzea, fellow crafter ^^ (it took me 7 months to get all 19 available class so far - to 50) - choose what you like, there's something for everyone
