Favorite Job Story? (SPOILER)

[EdwinLi]

This discussion will contain spoilers for those who did not complete lvl 51-60 storyline and the 3 new Job storyline.

You have been warned!

Back on topic:

So which Job storyline do you like in 3.0?

Dark Knight Job storyline so far is my favorite...

SPOILER!

mostly because this Job storyline questions the WoL actions with blindly helping people who just simply ask him or her for help while at the same time gives the player dialogue options to show what kind of person he or she is.

Though I can't help but play the Person 4 ost "I'll face myself" during the lvl 50 quest

I'm kind of dissapointed on the PLD job story lvl 50 - 60

Personally I found the PLD 50-60 story good. I liked basically training a new free paladin. Poor guy got slaughtered in the 60 fight, though. Fighting Solkzagyl was fun, and I liked the new look he had, since he gave the newbie PLD his old armor, lore-wise explaining the size change as he had it refitted exactly for the elezen.

I liked the bard story. The ending fight was sort of "LOL" if you ever stepped inside Pharos Sirius, but, hey.

Dark knight and I like it for the same reason as you OP. After the DRK quests I no longer care about Eorzea as a whole but I will fight for my characters friends.

Well the WoL was asked by Gaius in 2.0 if he or she cares about Eorzea and why does the WoL fight.

It is nice how in a way the DRK Job storyline expands on these questions.

After all not many side-stories or the Main Storyline hardly touch on the part that despite all the power and skill the WoL has he or she is still a being that has his or her own limits. So far everyone in Eorzea treats the WoL like a Hero that can do anything no matter how impossible it appears but they often show how exaggerated their belief about the WoL is due to the countless tales being told about the WoL but of course tales are often changed and altered.

Though with how 3.0 Main story went I won't be surprised if they decide to have the WoL die in 3.X era, and return from death after a certain Eorzea time jump in 3.X era, to set the stage for 4.0 but that is just a hypothesis.

Indeed, in the end as the dark side said he/she is the one underneath the mask and I like that, the question giaus asked came up at the end of the dark knight story line it was like after everything you have been through what do you now fight for? After talking to your dark side self after viewing what npc's think of you overall and dealing with the corrupt and those unwilling to change has your opinion changed? Or remained the same? For my character it changed.

I do wonder if the void has anything to do with our abilities we get stronger and feed on negative emotions and how we learn the last was the abyss whispers to you a new skill or some such. With abyssal drain it was your dark side feeds on the pain of others, can't wait for the next part of our job quest in the future. Still in the end I think you can agree with your dark side having strength and gaining it is a sacrifice since you will suffering for yourself and others. Being a dark knight is pretty grim and lets not forget almost everyone hates you considering the powers you wield and how you go about "justice".

Well my character option hasn't changed since my belief was always a bit Dark Knightish to begin with.

I know I can't save everyone but I can always try to at least.

There will always be people who choose not to change.

You can save as many people as possible but for some that will never be enough and people will find things to blame you even though you chosen to risk your life over a task no one was willing to take on.

There will always be those that will take advantage of the chaos.

There will always be those who hate others for being different.

There will always be people who view darkness as something evil but it is not so different from the light.

In short the world is always full of darkness but light still exists in that darkness despite how small and scattered they are. It is those light within the darkness that the Dark Knights seek to protect.

However, the real lesson of the Dark Knight story isn't just about how Dark the world is but that one can not simply view the world as only Black and White but in different colors.

True which is why I love the DRK story so much, my character DOES think like that now but before the DRK quests he was like help everyone! Since its the "right" thing to do and I am the warrior of light! bla bla bla and securing peace for eorzea and all that jazz.
