The reason I felt a bit disappointed is because there are plenty of npc's that have changed dialogue during and after Heavensward. I was hoping this attention would be brought to the job quests, though of course I do understand that would be more complicated than just changing a line of dialogue - but not by that much! They could have changed the name of the character without having to touch the model much. Could have changed a few lines of dialogue to place it in another context.
Hid my reply, due to possible spoilers for people who haven’t progressed through both the Dragoon Job Quests and the Main Story Quests.

What Daralii said rings true and it would be strange to simply replace Estinien in the Dragoon Class Quests, due to the fact that there are only 2 Azure Dragoons in existence (which is being explained during the Job Quests. But, the story in the Dragoon Job Quests also explains more about Estinien himself. People would miss out on that little tidbit of information.


But, keep in mind that IF the Job quests would have to evolve based on the Main Story Quest, they still need to make sense within the Lore set for the game as well as the time and context in which the quests take place.

This will require more then just changing a name and a “few lines of text”. (^_~ ) As you progress through the Dragoon quests, you will witness events you could not have seen, if Estinien wasn’t involved within these quests like he is right now.
