Multi-Discipline Ending Quest - Can You Not?

Incentive to play multiple roles and expand gameplay horizons is always going to be more important for the game than the self-imposed roleplay restrictions of a single player. This is a non-problem.

Maybe you should make RP characters that aren't one-dimensional, or actually partake in some character development to expand on what they're capable of. Maybe your tank develops an anxiety disorder after a bad experience and picks up magic to hang back and sling spells. Maybe that bookworm sch/smn gets ganked by a pack of mobs while her pocket tank is slacking off and decides she needs to learn to fight for herself.

There are solutions to your problems, you just don't want your characters to actually grow.

I do understand your feelings. I deleted a HW level healer only alt I had because the 20 levels in blm(required at the time for swiftcast) finally drove my ocd nuts and I had to delete and restart her.

But fortunately for me I do have a 'do-everything' main that I mostly play, so I'll be able to do the captstone questing on her. A few people in here have given suggestions on some alt jobs you could put on 1 character if you really want to see the story for yourself.

And maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see the op as a 'this shouldn't exist because it interferes with my way of doing things' and more a 'it would be nice if stuff like this could be worked towards across alts'. Which I can agree with, along with a lot of the suggestions in the thread about possible qol changes for alts.

{That's too bad.}

OP, I feel you. I don't tend to level several classes on the same character either (for RP reasons), so I guess I won't be able to do that quest ;_;
Hopefully, it's not a very important one.

And whoever said this is about laziness, I want to see you leveling more than 10 alts through each expansion, like I have.

Why not just ignore the quest??? There are a lot of quests in this game that have some sort of prerequisite that's necessary prior to undertaking them. This happens to be no different. If you don't want to obtain the necessary prerequisite for this quest, you can't complain that it "isn't fair". That's like going into Eureka and complaining that it isn't fair you can't get the last step of your relic weapon because you've only done Anemos.

It's not rocket surgery.

We've honestly already had something like this in the game since ARR in the Allied Beast Tribes. You get a set of quests for completing all the Beast Tribes. Same concept.

Couldn't agree more. Was waiting for quests to be added for having all of certain things leveled, like best tribes but personal character progression. Some people are just too uppity to go outside of what they SELF IMPOSE.

If they wanna see it so damn badly, either wait for someone to upload a video on youtube, or just do it themselves.

I feel like that an issue only for players with self imposed limits, which the very design philosophy of the game is to not place limits on your character.

Self-inflicted problem. Also, most likely is going to be the conclusion of that story arc.

Edit: Not to mention that all you need to do is pick the alter with SCH/SUM and level GNB and DNC on it.

It really doesn't have to be expensive. GC turn ins give loads of exp, and if you're self sufficient, you'll spend no gil or even gain it leveling DoH/DoL. But, if you don't find the gameplay of them fun then yeah, dumping gil into it helps.

Become what you must. Become the Warrior of Darkness.
... and also, say, the Scholar of Darkness, and the Ninja of Darkness. That'll be enough.

There is some class specific content that isn't fair. For example, Whitemage gets a unique mount for completing a quest. Where's the Paladin's mount quest?

Bad example, doesnt paladin already get 2 mounts(just having to run some instances for them rather then finish a quest)? Wheres my BLM mount(smaller flying carpet?)? Wheres my GSM mount(some tinkered monstrosity?)?

OP, you said that your caster character will have a history of dancing. Thats 3/4 roles. Justifying adding gunbreaker to that characters learned classes isnt that big a leap. Got beaten up pretty bad in some fight(zenos?). Heard rumor of some new fighting style using a sword and magical bullets. Decided to look into it so that you can avoid a repeat beating in the future. You can even "decide" that you prefer spells and only break out the blade "when necessary". Boom, done.

I never thought I would agree with a potato one day. Thanks master Yoda of potatoes.

Having done this quest, it is definitely a big piece of lore that SHOULD NOT have been locked behind completing all the role quests. I would argue that it should have been part of the MSQ at some point in the Tempest before the final battle. That is my opinion about it anyways.
