I see where you're coming from, the practicality of having just one job isn't as appealing or worth the effort to make an alt for another job. That and the long list of non-job related quests you have to do to progress. It's a lot to just level another job I guess.
But I think the idea of leveling a job should feel daunting, and be difficult to a reasonable degree. I mean, the reward of working hard for something is certainly far more satisfying than having something catered to me so that it's easily achievable for everyone and thus is a common commodity.
When I played WoW, if I made a new alt I had to go about leveling and unlocked everything again. Mounts, instances, and towns, but its through that journey that I would learn and become a skilled player through experience in having to solely use that job. Not just have that job at cap with little to no idea how to use it. I never felt that doing those things wasn't worth the reward of having a new job to play with. Perhaps in FFXI, I'd agree.![]()
