Yes, in theory that would be the case. If you hit up the different vocations here on the wiki, you can see a table of their different stat growths. If you for example level up exclusively as a sorcerer, you will have an enormous amount of Magick attack and defense, however your physical attack and defense with suffer a lot and your health and stamina may not be as well developed. For instance, one could take some levels as a Fighter since they have the highest Defense growth in the game, Rangers have the highest stamina growth. It is a more indirect way of leveling up, as one essentially doesn't have any precise control of how much health, stamina or damage output they get as it's not the traditional leveling menu.
