Deeper Class Quests

I didn't find NIN or MNK anything alike in how they play or their story. Mechanically NIN is far closer to DRG than MNK. I also don't think any of the class to Job transitions were that bad. Rogue to NIN both explained why you got involved in the events in the first place as well as why they accepted to train you.

As for AST the stargazing quests really didn't have much to do with the cards as they were about attuning ourselves to celestial bodies as they are the source of a AST's Aether. By attuning to a particular celestial body, the AST can draw Aether from that body. Further those quests were really background to the events involving Shalayan and Ishgardian Politics. This is even more so in the HW quests where the those events come to a head.

That 1.0 GLA quest mention has me curious on what the other class quests were like now. Odd they didn't keep the Coliseum element in ARR. Wouldve been a good way to teach people the fundamentals of tanking.

There are GLD quests that go through those basics. Infact one even has you 'tank' for an NPC. I think between those and the Guildhests they felt there was enough tutorials. As for the story, I guess they wanted to focus on an actual event that tied into the general world more.
