Yes, that's been gone for ages, no idea what Arcanist does for SCH and SMN now since you level one you basically get the other for free, only reason to multi level jobs is gir your own fun and flexibility, if you ever log in to your old account 80% of your hotbar will be greyed out

Multiple jobs might work if you feel like you're cheating yourself out of the levelling experience, when the best way to level healers in Stormblood was queueing the same dungeons in a row, ahhhhhhhh. God forbid you play a class that sucks ass before a certain milestone and it gets a crumb of aoe.

Okay, well we'd still be able to find each other so it doesn't matter, the good thing about starting again is I suppose you get to experience the lot of changes they've since done to a lot of ARR that even I don't know about, but I do know they made the dungeons less of a mess and the final trials of the base game are actual dungeons/fights now.

I know people say XIV'sstory takes a while to get good but I'd reccomend atl east trying to remember everythingthe Ascians are up to, they go from moustache twirlers in ARR to eventually theb estantogonists in the game by ShB.

Wait have you started a new character? And yes, some, not all dungeons have the option for AI party members. Equip all the right exp acts, use rested exp and all the food buffs and you will rocket up the early levels.

BLM changes significantly per expansion and also pre level milestones, its an odd one, Pictomancer is where its at fot casters anyway.

If you ever get to Shadowbringers, which is free now and want to party up, let me know! Especially for the conclusion, doubly so for Endwalker

Absolutely, I didn't mind his jump and hover mechanics in the game but in the training missions they feel somewhat not built for the precision you're asked for. And yes, the Grip Gun needed more ammo…or maybe the rifle did which in my opinion kinda sucked, good job the other guns can just chunk everything.
