I don't think he did anything that was universally loved like Ishikawa's Alchemist and Dark Knight quests.

If they don't have someone else to take over for him, and if Ishikawa doesn't wanna come back to do the MSQ, then they desperately need to look externally.
The Pandæmonium quests are mediocre?
