In each of my builds in FFXIV, I generally pull abilities from a minimum of three classes. However, there are times when I'll just use abilities from only the main class. The flexibility is there so that we can use it.
And you couldn't do that with the Job/Sub Job system in FFXI?????? Like I said in FFXI the system allows you to play around but keep balance and defined roles without things getting out of hand, in FFXIV they have to water down all the skills and abilities because you could cross class all the abilities and come up with a super class if they were actually effective.
