*Fixed it for you
If this game thought you did, they wouldn't talk about a character not having enough experience for certain quests or for Job quests say that you are learning something by doing this. I almost wish it was something like, "Fight this NM three times, and you'll have Jump only for this fight until you use Jump in the fight with this guy at least 3 times!" But that'd be hard for them to do.
And you would have all your skills at Level 1. Is it hard to learn to swing a sword? No!
Is it hard to learn how to swing properly, when to swing and when to block? To evade and beat? Yes, very much so!
I have experience in martial arts, so I know how it is to "Level Up" your skill over time. At first, you swing a hundred times, then two hundred, then 5, then a thousand, etc. etc. Just like each swing is an experience point you're earning.
