I disliked the PLD quest quite a bit, in fact it was the first time I thought about skipping CS's. Then again, I also dislike everything about SE's messed up PLD lore in this game. I wanted to be a holy knight from a kingdom of knights and honor, like Ishgard, not a pit fighter from the city of coin and greed.

SE should really retcon the lore so PLD's are from Ishgard and BLU are the new sultansworn in 5.0. Not only would both jobs fit their city themes better, but having DRK, PLD, and DRG all from the same kingdom in game would be a nice callback to FFIV's Cecil and Kain.

But that's just my two gil on the subject.
