The new multiclassing rules are the one thing I am worried about with the new version of Pathfinder.
My group switched to Pathfinder after trying 4e. One of the main reasons was the 4e multiclassing rules.
Our favorite campaigns in 3.0/3.5 relied on the multiclassing rules as the main hook. One example was a campaign where the players started as commoners and then moved into the standard classes after after a few levels. That sort of thing is something that just wasn't possible in 4e.
The proposed system also takes away the ability to change your characters direction after a few levels. Yes, you could just roll a new character and retire the old, but at least in my group, people wanted to keep the character they started with. You really have to know what you want to be at character creation.
If PF2 is moving to a multiclass system similiar to 4e, there is a good chance my group would seriously consider switching to 5e.
