All it does is make me compelled to rush through, which is disappointing because I may have otherwise been interested if I chose to do it sometime later when I was out in the world specifically to do side quests. The same can be said about Role Quests. I'm on the cusp of finishing the Emet Selch arc, I really couldn't care less about some cowardice Miqo'te. I know there's way more to that story, but it escapes me at the moment. Which, in a way, echoes my point.
It wasn't so much about the role quest givers, tho it was to a point. It told the story of ardberts companions. It was fairly story important. Especially if you do all of them.


And I remembered them telling us to keep up with them, so I did XD
