Not going to lie: I am definitely disappointed. As much as some job questlines are maligned (Paladin, Paladin, Warrior, and Paladin), they were always something I looked forward to experiencing. I was hoping that role quests "replacing" them was only going to be a thing in Shadowbringers, and only because having to warp back over to the Source every few levels for your job quests would've been pace breaking. Knowing that role quests are still being considered their replacement in Endwalker is really a letdown for me.

That said, I would laugh if it turned out the entire reason for this was just... Paladin. Like, they were so fed up with writing the Paladin questline that they just scrapped the entire job questline thing.
