I can get behind this idea OP.
SE could do it the way WoW does it ... taking every job from 1 to cap by requiring players to run through the same content again. and again. and again.

Over the 10 years I played, I managed to do exactly that, playing every class and race on both Alliance and Horde side, running through the content during the extremely long periods of No Additional Content.

You can do the same in FFXIV. Create a Bard the first run through, then, on an alt character, run through as a Dragoon, then, on another alt character, run through as a Summoner. Rinse. Repeat. You could do that without NG+, and got quest rewards (gear, emotes, the works) every single time.

Do I recommend that? Nope. NG+ wasn't designed for that (no quest rewards, no XP), but running alts has always been part of the game.

Not many people take advantage of alts in that way, preferring to run through instances, FATEs, Battle Leves, Hunts and the Ever Popular Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High in order to garner XP for their other jobs without having to run through the MSQ once again.
