Revelations from Patch 6.2: Buried Memories

I hope the "must be on said job doing the MSQ to get small tidbits" thing won't continue. I know I can just go to an inn room to replay those CSes but I miss it when the game would give you those tidbits so long as you had the job unlocked or did X content. One thing I do like is the post Vault CS change. At least it takes out the sting that if you play as a healer or have one leveled up the game won't completely ignore that fact until Zenos spanks everyone at Rhalgr's Reach and Krile yells at you to snap to it.

I agree. My main is Dancer now, but I played through 6.2 as Reaper just because I did not want to miss any nods. Another reason it sucks is that unless I am wrong, the mention in quest comes from one of those scene which I think is not viewable from the inn.

Honestly, I think the problem is that they're not doing it enough. Small nods if you're playing Reaper around the voidsent stories to show that they actually are paying attention to that are great ideas both in terms of rewarding the player and patching up tiny little plot holes. But to avoid the hurdle of 'you must be playing this one specific job', they should be spreading it out a bit more and having other jobs get some spins. Reward the people who go in with one of the multiple jobs that reasonably speaking already have a foot in the water here.

For a Void-focused storyline, yeah, Reaper's the elephant in the room. But off the top of my head, the other jobs that have had to deal with voidsent are the three War of the Magi jobs (Black Mage, White Mage, Scholar) and Red Mage, so give all of them some extra lines too, and toss in Dark Knight as well for the darkness angle to make sure the tanks don't get left out. This is a community game, there's nothing wrong with communicating to get the full picture, but only allowing one job to get the full picture doesn't facilitate that, it just facilitates 'play this one job'.

Endwalker had this as well, so it’s not like they haven’t done it in a while either.

They had one set up and ready with the statue on the Thirteenth too. As a PLD main I’d of loved to see our character go “huh they have that armor here as well” or something.

Oh I know they gave nods to if you were playing as a certain job. Like if you were a healer going into Zot you can ask them if they made a mistake with you also being a healer and G'Raha tells you no we want our best in the Vanguard. Yet back during Heavensward you could be on any other job when meeting Estinien in the MSQ for the first time. But if you had done the lv 50 DRG quest he'd make a comment about you being one. 6.1 and 6.2 on the other hand make you go huh I wonder if there's any extra stuff but don't get anything even though you have all the boxes checked. Except the doing the story as X Job. And yeah I'm surprised PLD didn't get to say something like that looks like Passage of Arms.
