The jokes for the most part are just fun relics of when drg had much more inherent job mechanics to kill itself with.It is meant to be fun/funny reflection of the dark ages of goon. when we had half the mdef we do now with almost all unavoidable dmg being magical, and every other skill used to root you for 2-3s at a time. Less so the connotation from a previous ff mmo where it was really just a garbage bst in implementation.
