    Endwalker role quests make no sense (Quest spoilers)

    Why do the role-specific quests you pick up in Radz-at-han have absolutely nothing to do with the role they're related to? I did the ranged DPS quest in Ishgard, nothing I did had literally any bearing on the fact that I was a DPS, or ranged. I just picked up the healer role quest, and again the entirety of the questline has literally nothing to do with the fact that im a healer, but in fact has me fighting monsters like any other quest in the game. I guess I just don't understand the point of making them role specific quests, when they only boil down to exposition devices to help paint the struggles each nation is currently facing during the final days. At least in Shadowbringers the role quests were actually relevant to the role they were targeted at, while Endwalker's role quests make no sense.

    I imagined the intention of role-specific quests were so that we, the player, could see our character's actually preform their role within the story, whereas in the main story we generally just stand around helplessly while our comprads do everything for us. It makes sense for this to happen in the main story, because accounting for every single class would be extremely difficult and to implement into a cutscene. But the fact that we don't even do anything in the role quests either has me asking what was the point?
