Since Stormblood is about MNK

[TripPsyc]

If previous xpac is any consolation stormblood will be about monks as much as heavensward was about dragoons.

Exactly.

Besides having Estinien around how much was Heavensward about Dragoons? Lyse is going to serve a similar role to Estinien, Gosetsu and Yugiri will play the roles of Ysayle and Alphinaud.

Maybe not mechanically, but the lore was.
Fighting the Dranavian Horde is pretty much all DRG is about. We also go into the origin of the class as a story focus, not to mention the Eye of Nidhogg playing a central role for so long.

It is true it's not like DRG got special treatment gameplay-wise (like the OP wants) because it was their expac.

What I think of it being themed around the jobs, is just that the Job's lore expands into the central conflict and expansions matches it thematically. It also makes sense that the WoL would change to that Job due to the nature of that conflict while being written well enough so that you don't feel less for not playing it. HW balanced this really well.

Dialog was changed throughout a lot of cut scenes all through hw if you were a dragoon doing them so perhaps being a monk will do the same.
