Is there a point to having multiple characters?

I've been trying to think of a benefit, but can't come up with anything. Especially considering you can't mail items/gil to your alts.

I would think only thing that would want you to make a new character would be if you suddenly decided to change your race. Other than that I can't think of any reason also

People like to extreme min/max and also people like to play different races. I, however will roll just one.

I created an alt on a jpn server so I could actually play the game.

Do we get to replay all the quests if we already did them with our first job?

I'm gonna be bummed if when I level a healer I don't have any quests to do. I don't like FATE's.

I have my legacy character on Excalibur and a new character on Gilgamesh.

Friends across two servers, so yes there can be reasons.

It'd be nice to send a bit of gil from my legacy character, but it really isn't that big of a deal to me seeing as I can just earn the money on the new character.

If you like playing the different races then yes there is a point to multiple characters, sometimes people just get bored and want to try something else. Also, if you wanted to play on more than one server (for example I'd like to play on a NA and have an alt on a JP server) then you would have multiple characters.
