Which job quests are MSQ-relevant?

Interestingly, Scholar touches upon none of this, instead tying itself as the third piece of the War of the Magi puzzle, being the key form of magic employed by Nym while fighting against the Ampadori White Mages and the Mhachi Black Mages.

(Red Magic was the result of post-flood Mages learning to live together and merging the schools. Nym's absence is likely the result of them falling apart from the inside out before that point thanks to the Tonberries, although I don't think we've been given the hard timeline yet on that.)

Faeries operate on completely different rules from Carbuncles or Egi, as well. The only issue is the story behind them varies quite a bit from language to language. English version, at least, notes faeries have a level of individualism, being almost a meta-physical manifestation of the "memories etched in the sould crystal." They even have personal names. Ours is Lily.

Nothing at all mentioned about our personal flavor of aether at all.


However, there are a whole slew of Easter Egg dialogues peppered throughout instances and quests that acknowledge your job if you happen to be equipped with one during these scenes.... but it's just little Easter Eggs that don't fundamentally shift scenes, or anything.

SCH has one in Wanderer's Palace HM, where you meet a job quest NPC that's overjoyed to see you, but he barely acknowledges the rucus if you come as anything but SCH, even with it unlocked and completed.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, all jobs reference world lore or MSQ events in some form.

The only real exceptions being the two, original tank jobs. They don't add too much to the overall world-building and are rather isolated storylines.

Which makes Dark Knight's storyline basically doubling-down on MSQ call backs and heavily characterization on the WoL an huge shift in tone.
