    That's BS. I don't even see leveling more than one fighting class as "Content". People like that annoy me for some reason. You don't have to level them all to experience the full game as you can do everything with just one class.

    Actually, that coulden't be more incorrect.

    The combat in the game is completely different approaching it as a Melee DPS, a Ranged DPS, a Tank, or a healer.

    Warrior as a Tank is different in feel and execution than Paladin.

    Same could be said for Dragoon and Monk, or Black Mage and Summoner ,etc.

    Leveling up another class is content, just in the different way you play with it. That's why it's so highly encouraged to play a wide variety: You may find a playstyle you enjoy more, or fond that you enjoy the game more mixing it up.

    This is ignoring the class and Job storylines that coincide with them as well. So no, you can't do all content on one class.

    I guess we just have a different definition of content then. Because playing through the SAME things over and over with different classes is certainly not content to me.

    What I am saying is the class itself is content, and in doing so breaths new life into content you've already visited.

    Mastered tanking Titan Ex? Try doing it as a healer.

    Finding front-line too frustrating on Dragoon? Try Bard.

    Broadening your perspectives in such a way broadens the ways you can enjoy things such as raids and whatnot. As someone previously stated, you get what you put into this game, as with many others. And sometimes, it's not the content you are doing, but how you are doing it, that ends up being what burns you out.

    If I do dungeons or primals, I do it for two reason. First - to clear the content. Second to get the loot or whatever reward there is to get. What's the point in doing it as another class?
    I'm far from burned out, there are still many things I enjoy doing in the game. But honestly, I'd rather quit than go through it all again just for the sake of doing it on another class.

    If you're only doing content to complete it or to get rewards, you may need to look at why you play MMOs in general. The games you are playing should be fun in and of themselves. You should be smiling as you dodge plumes/landslides etc. Playing the game should be enjoyable in its own right. Not just a means to a reward.

    Oh no, I do enjoy my content. But you see, some battles and dungeons in this game have to be completed over and over. Some dungeons and encounters I've completed hundreds of times. And this is only to gear up ONE class. It really is beyond my understanding how people can still find it fun after doing it so many times.
