Job Unlock Storyline - Whats yours?

[AlexiaKidd]

TL: DR Version at the end ^^

I was think about how they would introduce Jobs in a storyline sense and thought it would be fun if we put down our storylines of how we would want to unlock our favourite job.

First off I think they need to use Ishgard for the new Job's as I don't think they could just plonk them down in the 3 starter cities and it would be a good way to introduce the city to players. What I imagine as the path for DRK is this:

You meet the requirements to start the DRK quest, the quest starts as a seemingly normal quest that begins in one of the starter cities. You are being sent to investigate the disappearance of some Merchants that were escorting goods through Coerthas, you pick up trail at Owl's Nest. NPC's tell you that the merchants travelled through a few days back heading to Ishgard but have not been seen since.

So off you trek into Coerthas and gather more clues, NPC's on the way tell you of sightings of a huge beast that has been roaming around lately. You decide to hunt for this beast as the two incidents are probably related. Clues point you towards an area and in that area you discover a cave.

You head into the cave a Chocobo runs out passed you and you hear a roar from within. As you inch your way inside you see the remains of the Merchant's, you hear a scream down one of the tunnels so run towards it. There at the end of the tunnel is a terrified Merchant but between you and him stands a Behemoth.

You take on the Behemoth and after an epic and challenging fight you manage to slay the beast. After patting yourself on the back you realise that the Merchant is still terrified and scrambling in the corner.

Out of the darkness a huge Behemoth emerges and looks very angry that your just killed it's baby. Needless to say this fight does not go so well and you are smashed against the wall. Just as it look like the end has finally come for you and you are about to become lunch the twinkling of a blade can be seen in the darkness.

A shout bellows through the cave and the Behemoth turns, as you slowly regain your senses you witness a DRK in full AF battling the huge Behemoth in an epic fight. The DRK is making this Behemoth look easy and puts it down without much trouble.

Once the fight is over the DRK tells you that the Merchants were poachers and were trying to kidnap the baby Behemoth to sell on Ul'dahs Black Market and the mother was defending her territory. He had been tracking them and watched as the poachers got what they deserved when the mother returned early from her hunting. He is angry you killed the baby and forced him to knock out the mother Behemoth and says you owe him a debt. To repay that debt you will work for them and in return they will train you in the ways of the Dark Knight and help you realise your full potential. To get your started he throws you a weapon and tells you to slay 100 beasts and then report to him in Ishgard.

The end..... or is it the beginning ^^

From there as you meet certain requirements you could be issued a new quest and upon completion the DRK will teach you a new skill/ability eventually culminating in the battle of you vs. master to test your fully unlocked potential, kind of like the Maat fight. Then possibly have you face off against a new threat as of yet unseen when Eorzea are looking for the best of the best to create a team of elite soldiers to take on this new found menace.

*TL: DR Version*

I think they should use the introduction of Jobs as an an epic way to start branching storylines and also introduce Ishgard as a city. I would be really sad if they didn't use this opportunity to do something great and show us what they can do with some kickass cutscenes and battles.

Anyway what is your story of how you want your job to be unlocked?
