Job Quests: Is that all for this xpac?

[Edax]

I admit I only did the Samurai level 80 job quest but when it was over I was thinking "this is it?". I've not been following the news cycles so is there news that there will there be more job quests in future patches? Or is that all for this expansion?

[Raldo]

I'd agree that it seemed a little sparse, but yeah I'm pretty sure that's all we're getting.

I don't think they've formally stated that, but given past expansions, I have no reason to expect anything additional.

Are you talking about the job quest at 80 thats a flavor quest, or the role action questline?

If its the former, I think it is lacking and disappointing. While I think the role action quest has its merit, the more tailored job quests I preferred much much more. The level 80 quest seems like it exists to tie up the class quest lines from the previous xpacs and leads me to believe that in future xpacs, theyll be doing the role quests. If that ends up being the case, man, thats crap. It's lazy and bland.

Let's be real here, it's most likely they didn't want to or couldn't come up with specific story lines for each job, so they do generic role quest lines with one specific job quest to wrap it up.

Personally I'm fine with it, mainly because this way is an excellent way to give some closure to the first's warriors of light after we parted ways back in Heavensward.

If we didn't have that story to go through, it would have probably been generic role quests with no substance. Next expac may get more specific, but I have a feeling this role quest experience may become the norm.

Job quests were kind of boring and a waste of time though.

Having a flavor quest at Level 80 works for me.

I've only done two (SMN/SCH), and all in all I like them. It's a nice little check in on things on the Source. Job quest storylines were always hit or miss, so it's not much of a loss.

As soon as they announced the role quest I guessed immediately we were going to get no job quests. Instead we get some throwaway dialogue meant to wrap up a few loose ends here and there. The story to them wasn't bad necessarily, the sch one was something that made me really happy to see, but the others?

So far I've gotten whm, pld, smn, sch, drg, nin, and sam to 80. Pld was the worst one so far as far as storyline developments went while the others were at least entertaining and had some cool storyline beats to set us up for the next time we do anything job related. I hope this isn't the end of the job related stuff though! But if it is, I will continue to be disappointed until we get more. The role quests weren't a bad idea necessarily but if it had been up to me, I would have kept the Cardinal Virtues as it's own separate quest chain that ran tangential to the MSQ. Having done the pinnacle role quest (the one unlocked by clearing all of them) and seeing some of the incredible twists and storyline reveals that came with it, I'm disappointed that 1) the majority of players probably won't see it and 2) since they're keeping that crazy lore locked behind the pinnacle role quest they probably won't or can't include it in the MSQ.

The PLD one was disapointing.

Once again it's not even a paladin quest it's a gladiator quest. Just once can we go around knight erranting and helping people as a free paladin instead of dealing with sultansword lost swords or gladiator drama?

The issue is that before when there were only 12-14 jobs, it would have been fine to make decent job quests. Now we have uh....17 or 18 jobs? It becomes more and more daunting to write job quests for that many jobs. It's a shame because I LIVE for the job lore and we got so little of it. How did we get some of these powers? Hell I would kill for flavor text in the tooltips or SOMETHING.

PLD has been lacking since HW. This shouldn't come as a surprise.
