Well, it would be retconning when you're turning the story from being literally all about one thing (Say, protecting allies for Marauder or Conjurer) and then suddenly turn it into the complete opposite (Say, making Marauder/Conjurer suddenly no longer give a crap about protecting allies and instead just want to hit things)

I am not sure if other quests are as intertwined, or more linearly progressive.
Warrior ones had little to do with the Marauder's guild.

There was only one instance where there was set up a fight between the Marauder tutor as he wanted to see how we were getting on.

With then some reference to Curious Gorge and his brother training some Marauders in being Warriors (Though, we never get involved, unlike with the MNK and MCH quests where this happens too)

Also again, there's no reason why the Class Quests couldn't remain with the classes themselves being removed.

Though, that is unlikely. Given that NIN is based off of Rogue/Thief in its design. It even has the Mug skill (Which does actually confer an increased drop rate from mobs)

The Rogue class and quests are very much Thief-esk.

One of the reasons why I'd really like to be able to use the Rogue animations on the Ninja job... They're really cool and more Thief-y and less weeby >.>
