And yeah leveling for a role is not simply leveling 1 class, because your class is not your role. you choose your path, you want to be a mage, be a mage use mage like answers to your problems, the options are there.

First i think you should realize the vision of this game is not one of one size fits all classes, every conjurer has the potential to be different, even more so with materia, what options they have for leveling, even the job system will require multiple jobs, a recent review said gladiator might require 30 gld and 15 mrd.

That said, jobs overall will allow you to specialise more, most likely not giving you the option to use certain skills you dont want to have. So while a role will probably never, and in my opinion should never, be completely irrelevant to cross class abilities, it will be limited some when jobs arrive
emulate only cuts 100 damage, tried
