    It doesn't have to be;

Well, Jobs already do that, and such quests could carry on the additional class requirement the first Job quests had. Even tie in with the old classes; The quest for Suiyaku could have you taking your Ninja friends to Ul'dah to learn from the Pugilists, for example. Naturally you'd need Pugilist leveled for that. Actually having quests like that would make it far more obvious what skills you want to set as well. There would be no Warriors who don't know what Provoke is, because they'd see the quest unlocking their version of Provoke and work towards doing that quest.
    If they give Jobs their own version of cross-class skills, then they can throw whatever requirements they want at that quest. They can say "If you want your own version of Second Wind on Ninja, you'll need Lv30 Ninja and Pugilist for the quest", or "If you want your own unique version of Invigorate on Monk, you'll need Lv30 Monk and Lancer for the quest".

    Even though some cross-class skills go beyond Lv30, this would essentially make everything more uniform (which is a good thing IMO). All you'd need is to have completed the class quests in order to get the new skills, for some skills that's more work, for others it's less. Overall though, it would add more lore to Jobs and give the current cross-class skills more identity to their Job. Suiyaku doesn't need to be the same as Second Wind. Any such new skills they add can tie into the Jobs existing mechanics to be a unique version; Ninja has those Venoms used for all of two skills, with unique "cross-class" skills, you can tie more skills into that.
