    Jobs to progress by clearing quests...

    ...rather than gaining EXP.

    I noticed this in the 2.0 systems and content PDF on the big announcement. I've tried searching to see if anyone has talked about this yet but i wasn't able to find anything.

    I'm curious what this really means. If it means that we will no longer exp from mobs at all, or if there will maybe be some kind of combination of the two. I'm not really sure how I would feel if there wasn't anymore standard grinding on mobs type of thing. I mean it could be good, but I'm not sure if it could be done right.

    What are your guy's thoughts on the subject?

    My suspicion personally is that there won't be job /levels/ at all, actually; that jobs will provide a template of stat buffs to a particular class, along with new skills for that class to use and new, specific armour.

    From what I understand, your advanced class will not be EXP leveled. It will gain it's levels through job specific quests. Your regular classes like PUG, LNC, GLA, CNJ, etc., will still level via EXP.

    Personally, I think it's a very interesting concept to level Paladin, Black Mage, White Mage, Dragoon, Warrior, Monk and Bard through means other than repeated EXP grind.

    Also from what I gather, you earn the skills for those jobs via the quests as well.

    I think it means you don't level up jobs. It's not BRD 50, it's more like ARC 50 BRD. The jobs are a play style. The unlocking you do unlocks abilities for that play style.

    I think it should be an option.

    *Grinding mobs solo
    *Grinding mobs in a party
    *Grinding quests solo

    All should be optional. When I have the time I would love to party up and go grind with it for a few hours. When I do not have that much time I would love to log and go do some quick solo quest (leves are good for this anyway). When I do not feel like partying I would love to put on some music and go grind some mobs solo. I find it pretty relaxing to do

    I didn't think about it that way. Very interesting, If it ends up being exactly like that I don't think it would be too bad at all.
