Training in all four combat roles, a crafting skill, a refining skill, and three gathering skills, on the other hand, is a bad plan. (Yes, you'll lose your hat.)+1 for Girl Genius reference.Thanks. I figured someone here would recognize it.
For those who didn't, the relevant dialogue from Girl Genius (Note - Misspellings indicate outrageous fake German/Eastern European accent):
"Dis is turnink into vun of dose plans... Hyu know, de kind vere ve keel everybody dot notices dot ve's killin' people?"
"It is?"
"Uh huh. And how do dose alvays end?"
"De dirigible is in flames, everyboddyz dead an' I've lost my hat."
"Dot's right. Und any plan vere you lose you hat iz?"
"A bad plan?"
"Right again!"

Three different goals:
1. Be really good at PFO. Be one of the legendary players in your role.
2. Max out a role. Reach Level 20 with all your role's feats at maximum power.
3. Rack up more xp than the people who started playing during Month 1, on a character that started in Month 6.
Goal 1 is possible for anybody, no matter when they start playing. As with EVE, player skill and experience can allow a lower total xp character to routinely beat higher total xp characters (in combat PVP, or market PVP, or any other realm in which you want to outperform someone).
Goal 2 is possible for anyone, but it's going to take years, as discussed earlier in the thread.
Goal 3 is just not possible. The game isn't written that way. However, see Goal 1.

How do you "switch instantly" between roles? I haven't seen any phone booths in Golarion, otherwise don't you have to switch your weapons/implement/armour/armour feat etc... Or are you counting just switching out your weapons as switch roles?
If you were carrying a great sword Set 1, and a staff in Set 2, then I can see how switching weapon sets would be similar to switching roles.

Yes, you can be an Archer for one weaponslot (Bow + Trophy Charm) and a Cleric in your second (Focus and Holy Symbol).
The feats you slotted (armor, Role) will not change off course, so either you pick the best for one role, or mix and match. Mixing and matching may not give you the max out of a Role but it is certainly possible. And fun. :)
I am sure that Heavy armor + Mage will at some point not be very viable anymore when they implement Arcane penalties to heavy armor. Medium Armor, Archer and Cleric are a better combo.
And you can always slot another Role feat, just not instantly. Though carrying a extra set of armor may not always be wise so switching armor feats probably will happen less.
I think the Role system is one of the absolute beauties of PFO.

Fixed
I am sure that Heavy armor + Mage will at some point not be very viable anymore as of T2 armor this weekend when you have to try and keep Int and Strength both trained up in order to level, so you will fall behind pure casters and pure fighters.
Well that too, off course. :)
I am still in full "T1" mode, but yes, the honeymoon is soon over.
