Just discovered the lvl 80 job quests

[Gula]

Despite the length, I felt the DRK story was perfect closure. Made even better at how the journal dialog changes if you have your job stone on/off. Have not done my other jobs at 80, because unfortunately their stories overall were just bleh.

Looking at you WHM and "oh no elementals" x3.

Each one of the gives out 3 grade VIII materia so there is some worth in doing them. I also suspect that the 6.0 role quests will have the various class and job NPCs teaming up.

The level 80 quest is mostly a follow up on the characters Slyphie (ARR and StB), Alaqa (HW NPC) and Gatty (StB)

What would be absolutely rad would be the former cross class jobs. PLD/WHM (Because GLD/CNJ), ect. And the jobs after that obsolete system getting interesting team ups like MCH/DRK, DNC/SAM.

The lvl 80 job quests were much better than the role quests too imo. Job quests don't need to be all pew pew and stabby stabby, sometimes just a short story is enough. And the ones I played, were done extremely well. Even the less likable characters were not as bad (looks at little girl in rdm quests). I honestly didn't want to throw a one over a cliff this time lol

Well, Curious Gorge is still ridiculously lame, but I wasn't really bothered by anyone else aside from him.

The level 80 quests are short and sweet. DRK is still my favorite out of the ones I’ve done thus far, and I feel like it won’t be topped. But I’m a huge fan of the DRK storyline in general.

Dark Knight was great. The rest kinda vary in quality. Putting some thoughts in spoiler tags, so beware.

Dancer's cutscene was great, although I didn't find the job story as a whole to be very compelling.

Summoner was less about the job than a follow-up on Arenvald and Fordola. It wasn't bad, but it had basically nothing to do with the job. Really should've just been a normal sidequest.

Paladin felt more like a Gladiator quest again. Eh.

Warrior gave me a chuckle, but poor Curious Gorge really needs to actually get some development if he's gonna show up again. He's gone through the same arc three times now.

Machinist was fun, seeing Joye and Hilda interact (and Hilda's hilarious reaction to Joye's "transformation". Talk to her in the Brume afterwards, she's still confused).

Bard wasn't bad. When are Sanson and Guydelot gonna hook up, though?

Dragoon was an interesting look at Nidhogg from the other side of the War. Although, again, I think it could've been a normal sidequest.

Monk was a good piece of closure and peace for Widargelt. I do love that he actually admitted his own backstory to Lyse, rather than trying to hide it and have it erupt into drama later.

Ninja was funny, even if Karasu's disguises are still as thinly-veiled as ever.

ftfy. The materia is not a good reason to do them.

I've only done the ones for DRG and SMN so far, but I did enjoy both. I was also pleasantly surprised they either caught up with or brought closure to things from the MSQ involving certain characters. For SMN, while we did get some of the info involved already from last year's Tales of the Storm, it was nice to see this actually touched on in-game.

Also as someone sitting on thousands of hunt seals and dozens of clusters, I am far from wanting any more materia.

I was really disapointed by the paladin one. Just like with SB it was more a gladiator story than a paladin one. I'm never going to get a paladin questline where we go around doing free paladin knight errant type stuff am I? ARR was okay, HW was weird and convoluted and all about restoring a sword where the moral of the ARR story was the sword wasn't important, and then SB and SHB are really more about the gladiator characters.
