Of course! What goes around comes around.
That being said, I still don't know what class to play. I'm typically rather partial to rogue-playstyle classes so I might go for a monk. I play competitive support, though, so I might go for white mage. Maybe summoner. Hnngg. Too many choices!
Seeing as you ask about questions; is it possible/viable to level up solely through non-combat aspects of the game (DoL and DoH)?
The thing with final fantasy is that level is saved per job/class.
For example:
Lets say I level up an Archer to 30, and I decide hey I want to try out miner for gathering, my level as a miner would start at 1.
You can change between your classes simply by equipping a different weapon. The classes are separated by weapons in Final Fantasy, so one character (For me, Felix Sideris), will be able to be every class in the game whenever I want, all I have to do is equip a different weapon to change to a different class.
It's an amazing mechanic FF did because it makes it so people don't have to constantly re-roll alts. I will have -one- character on my character screen, and he can be any class I want him to be.
So can you level up a DoL/DoH by themselves? Absolutely, in fact, they are pretty fun to level if you like crafting or gathering. Although they are non-combat and wouldn't be able to perform in PvP.
I played a rogue in WoW on Moon Guard.. And mained a rogue for like seven years, so I know how you feel.
I'm not sure if monk is like rogue per-say, as from what I gather they have a form of stances. Some of the abilities you use chain together and put you into a different martial art stance, where you can then use an ability specific to that stance.
Lancer/dragoon has a lot of positional strikes (from the side, from the back, etc) so you are always moving around and such.
Really, there isn't a class out that feels like a "rogue" to me. Best wait for thief/ninja/assassin or whatever 'stealth-like' class they decide to release in the future.
Forgot to mention this:
DoW, the combat classes have to level up via combat, so there is no out of combat way for them to level up.
Kinda obvious, but I thought i'd mention it just in case.
