I sort of wish players could only choose one job.

Well, I'd like to hear why other player do, or don't like the multiple job mechanic. While I appreciate it's functionality toward online dynamics, it's the novelty that I feel takes away from the Final Fantasy atmosphere.

We all have the ability to play only one job. If you so dislike being able to play more than one, you do not have to.
I do not personally feel that it makes any sense to be locked into one job, especially when the world is based on learning abilities, and not inherent abilities. Miqote are not racially excluded from being Thaumaturges, and Monk is not Highlander Hyur specific. We also do not have racial or class enemies.

To me, it is like being able to: Fight in a war, write a sonnet, split wood, dig a hole, splint a broken leg, appreciate art, have an intimate conversation, discipline a child, drive a car, solve mathematical problems, cultivate plants and exercise animal husbandry. and to do all of them , or at least most of them well.

I do not want to live life being only able to do one thing, it sure would have sucked if i had chosen "Line-o-type operator" as a career and not been able to change.
