So, Is this game just grind fates on a 2nd class?

I don't necessarily see that happening. There are a total of three cities in addition to extra zones here and there (Coerthas, for example) and you can hit those site's zones accordingly. I really wonder how anyone can truly come to the conclusion that the game expects you to grind fates for 40 levels when there are three main cities; all with their own zones and side quests. Not to mention guildleves/hests.

your options are larger than just fates,

there are of course the fates which will act as a main stepping stone as you hunt around.

The hunting log provides large bonuses and each class has it's own unique log.

Guildleves are repeatable on alotment, and you can gain bonus exp for completing them on higher difficulties.

Guildhests can be undertaken by parties, these are a mix of a guildleve and a fate, and do not take alotment.

When your new class achieves the required levels you can begin doing dungeon runs with them to earn gear and large exp rewards on completion.

not to mention that each city has it's own pool of sidequests from 1-50 to pull from, so as long as you don't complete them all with a single class and waste them, you've got plenty of content to keep you... well... content.

One does not simply complete all quests with one class....

[FullmetalMuse]

pretty sure you can travel to another town and start doing their quests from low lvl up. But thats if you want to stay in your Hometown.

I completely agree with you though.

Yeah I'm with you on this I leveled MNK to 50 in like 4days even with all the issues with Errors but the leveling system sucks! I really hate it I cant even bring myself to level LNC past 20 so I can get the cool cross class skills I'm having thoughts of not subbing after the free trial is up And I'm a huge FF fan but the amount of EXP you need is crazy and to have to fate burn everything sucks.... Yes I could go do dungeons but there is no incentive to go redo low level dungeons I think I'm finally starting to see what other people have been saying even though I didn't want to believe it. Maybe playing FFXI for 8years is my problem, I had 8 75's before Abyssea even came out I really want to do this same with this game cause that's the way I am but that's to much fate grinding. And leve Allowance is too slow.

Even though you are able to have every class on one character it doesn't mean you have to.
You are allowed to use alts like in other MMOs.

Agreed. Honestly, I'm only going to focus on the magic users for my main and then make another character for things like Dragoon and Warrior.

Just dinged 30 on my marauder, and everywhere I go, there are quest icons. Up to this point, I've just done story quests, dungeons, class quests, and any fates that I stumble across. I also do the intro levequest in a new area, but leave the actual leve allowances that I'm accumulating to level my crafting and secons, third, fourth class. Up to lvl 29, I out leveled all of the main story quests and dungeons were fairly easy. The level 30 story quest was the only one that was unavailable immediately after the preceding quest, so I hit my hunting log, which I'd been neglecting, and bam! Level 30 after completing the second set of marks. I love this game, and there seems to be way too much to do!

Yay, bumping posts cause I cant play...

Levequests, dungeons, guildhests, hunting logs are other ways to level, ways that i prefer currently due to how FATEs are(massive zerg rushes that just are not fun, they need to have their spawn times nerfed, as they are now they spawn so fast that everything else pales in comparison)
