Class/Job Mechanics and

Still don't know what I'm going to do to cram all my abilities onto my bars. If I end up with 32 at endgame, I'll have to figure out where to put the last 8. It's a stretch for me to get up to 24, I'd really prefer no more than 18.

Having all three tanks at 60, along with all 3 heals and SMN/BRD as well, I can say now in advance: Those 32 skills - you'll be using them all - and likely even more than that... When you add in hotkeys for Potions, sprint, Limit break, mount etc. - I have between 34-40 or more keys pending job at level 60, and each of them finds a use.

Way back ages ago, when you leveled before Palace of the dead existed... It gave you time to learn each skill granted etc., as you didn't go 1-60 in the span of a few hours, and instead it would take you a few days or a few weeks instead. So, as Urthdigger recommended, I also suggest that you try going back and leveling the old fashioned way the first time through. The Main Story Quest has more then enough bonus EXP (along with gear etc) to get you to 50+ and then some, while giving you the time to learn your job properly without overwhelming you.
