No more job/class story quests? IMO some of them were better than MSQ. Sucks if it's so

There will be one at level 80, which technically can be a big quest. The level 60-68 quests were mini quests anyway, can just be combined with the final quest.

I'm not too bothered by that tbh. I feel like some of them had good conclusions in HW. All SB did was drag the stories out. The only story I liked was DRK; I found a lot of the other job quest stories either okay or lackluster. I liked WAR's story in ARR and HW, until it regressed in SB with that nonsensical love story. PLD's was straight-up awful in SB. It felt more like a GLD questline than for PLD. I swear, that female Highlander is the worst-written character in the game. I was almost triggered to see her in the Little Lady's Day (and I PLAY Highlanders!), because she wouldn't shut up about her ex-boyfriend, who doesn't care about her and screws with other women. I wanted to grab her and say "HAVE SOME DAMN SELF-RESPECT!!" I couldn't remember some of the other quests.

You only got a ability at 70 in SB anyway
i'm fine with it all being condensed into a super-quest at max level

White Mage has more stones to throw.

i dont know why but this make me laugh more than i should lol

Tank stances will now only generate more enmity for all abilities used.

good, aside from being OT, tank in party now has no reason to turn this off then.

I'll probably keep maining dragoon/white mage. I think I'm going to dump warrior for dark knight as soon as I get my bear mount though come the expansion.

[TakumiHarada]

No...! We can't deploy Succor off the fairy anymore?
That makes Deployment Tactics completely useless...

[DumdogsWorld]

As a DRG main, I'm concerned about several things....


-Removal of Heavy Thrust. HT is basically a free 15% damage boost. I only need to re-apply it once every 30 seconds. So...am I getting higher attack potencies as compensation? I don't want to be nerfed!

-Gutting of Role Actions. While I guess I won't need Goad and Invigorate anymore, I still use Leg Sweep for interruptions, True North in situations where positionals are difficult, and Second Wind and Bloodbath for self heals. These are essential!

-Removal of main stat materia. I guess I can't meld Vitality on accessories anymore. That extra 5k of health or so has saved me several times. This is unfortunate.

[Crushnight]

TY OP for all that work ^^ now to redigest it all

[gumas]

Removal of Heavy Thrust

remember that everything is change, its not just drg skill, every class is getting small to large makeover (look at mch), iam sure they up the other drg potency skill too

While I guess I won't need Goad and Invigorate anymore, I still use Leg Sweep for interruptions

TP is removed so goad and invigorate is gone, as for interruptions iam sure each class now has their own interrupt action skill, but the first page only mention tank and range dps only.

I guess I can't meld Vitality on accessories anymore

not sure about this but if we stay true with op summary in first page, tank accessory now come with str and vit by default i guess?
