Some job quests, sure, have a pretty bad storyline. I have never seen anyone defend PLD's questlines other than the coliseum arc, and I've seen more people than not say WHM's story is pretty boring. Others have indeed reached a form of closure, like Dark Knight or Dragoon.

But some others have oddly open-ended stories that could do with a bit of a follow-up, and some definitely have new implications when it comes to stuff like Dynamis or events in the game's world (events at Garlemald affect at least two of our jobs, Sharlayan impacts SGE and AST, the latter even having new implications with the Myths of the Realm story). And now we're never going to explore them, so we won't know what will come out of that.

It's honestly a shame that interesting stuff might be lost because people and the dev team don't want job quests.
Its just baffling to me the mentality shown here. You dont like doing quests that are one and done? How's that annoying? how is that fundamentally bad? People are acting as if these are such a slog or a chore to do when really its just nothing in the grand scheme of things. I rather want to experience new stories rather than just only stick to systems in this game, there's nothing wrong with fleshing out this game world. Its why almost every gameplay system, or content has its own story to tell. So outing job quests in this scenario just feels like a really odd thing to nitpick imo.

I realize they're not coming back anymore, 'cept for when new jobs get introduced but whats disappointing to me about their loss is that we no longer have that avenue for more stories to tell. I dont care if people dont agree with me on this, just like I dont care what people say about this matter. Personally I miss my job quests and its a shame we dont get them anymore.
