You wanna be dedicated, level all your DoL to 50 >.>

I actually didn't really like that FFXI was so limiting in its job selection - in that it was completely annoying before abyssea to level more than 2-3 jobs to 75 and gear them. You had to really pick what to focus on and didn't get to enjoy all the jobs that FFXI had to offer.

In FFXIV I don't play a whole lot and I mainly solo, but I've been able to get 9 jobs to 50 and been able to enjoy the variety more. In 2.0 I'm going to focus on mage a bit more and then maybe tank so that I can offer dd/mage/tank in any situation. Its great to have a more flexible character - you can accomplish so much more that way.

One way I appreciate this a lot is the DoH classes. In FFXI you could choose one. Now I can level them all. Its great to have the flexibility to make/repair all my gear, attach materia, go for HQ, etc. I'm really happy about this.
