Haha, well, it's a start, I suppose. Basically, here is the whole issue as I see it in list form.
Leveling an Original Class/Job (~6 Steps)
- Pick the class you want at creation.
- Level it to 30, learning the basic skills.
- Level subclass to 15, leveling cross-classes (though often recommended)
- Do job quest
- Receive job you want.
- Level job to cap, learning the new skills as you get them.
Leveling a Ninja (~8 Steps)
- Pick a class you don't want at creation (preferably the subclass, Pugilist)
- Level unwanted class to 10.
- Do class quest to unlock Rogue.
- Level Rogue to 30, learning basic skills.
- Level subclass to 15, leveling cross-classes optional (still recommended)
- Do job quest
- Receive job you want
- Level job to cap, learning the new skills as you get them
Leveling HW Job (~10 Steps)
- Pick a class you don't want at creation (preferably a crossclass for job)
- Level unwanted class to 30.
- Level subclass for unwanted job to 15 (hopefully also a crossclass for job)
- Do job quest for job you don't want
- Level unwanted job to cap, learning skills that you will mostly be dumping anyway beyond basic concepts.
- Complete MSQ all the way through 2.55.
- Meet iLevel requirements to continue into Ishgard
- Do new job quest
- Receive job you want
- Level job to cap, learning an entirely new style in a 30-60 window.
You're progressively having to do more and more stuff, and spending more and more time in an irrelevant class or job, to get to your destination. At least with ROG it was only ten levels. With the new jobs, it's not only 50 levels (quite the difference from 10), but you also have to go through the entirety of the MSQ (ROG only required progression to travel to Limsa if you didn't start there).
Afterward, you can't even use the MSQ for free EXP like you could with ROG/NIN. You're stuck with whatever quests you skipped (if any), dungeon crawls, leve grinding, and FATE grinding. To finally get the job that you purchased the game and its expansion to play.
It's just unfair to the player.
