The job system made me spend a lot of time earning xp, which was both good and bad. I liked the job system a good bit, especially if I knew what jobs I was wanting my characters to have. (I don't know why but during my current playthrough I have a minstrel, martial artist, mage, and priest and it makes the game to were I don't have to earn a lot of skill points and xp before going to fight a boss) The only bad thing about not going around with THAT high of a level means all the monsters will spam attack you.
