Real talk; the lack of Job-specific STORY content is really hurting my excitement...

Would anyone else be interested in seeing job quests baked into MSQ instead of being their own thing? By this I mean some parts of the MSQ quest line will change depending on your job. It would help add variety to the MSQ while also acknowledging your character's main role. It might also be less difficult to implement into the game as some of the branching quest lines could share content to an extent.

That's kind of how the role quests already work, though. Aside from not being mandatory, at least in Endwalker. Shadowbringers forces you to finish at least one of the four to continue through the Tempest.

I'll just repeat what I said earlier in the thread: I don't really care much for job quests because it doesn't need to be the only outlet for job lore, which is what I would like to see more of in general, especially for jobs like Paladin or Sage. Lapis Manalis was a step in the right direction as Reaper was incredibly lacking prior to it. (Wouldn't hurt to have more though please.)

Job quests are too bland for me. It's not enough time to establish a coherent plot and introduce characters. I vastly prefer role quests that are somewhat interwoven. If another WHM quest tells me to hug a tree I'll riot. The EW tank role quest was pretty much that but way more interesting. We already knew about the enemy/most of the characters and the plot went from there. Give me 5 interesting stories that tie together than 17 bland ones that have nothing to do with each other.

While I would personally prefer more job-based content to new jobs being introduced (because there's a tradeoff there as new jobs increase the amount of development resources that subsequently have to go into job-based content), I recognize that new jobs are a big draw for a lot of players, so I just accept it.

It just be like that sometimes.

Job quests would be better if they didn't feel so forced. When I'm in the mood to level grind, I want to just sit down and grind. Dungeon, dungeon, dungeon, dungeon, no stopping. But I have to stop. I have to stop like, once every 20 minutes. Because I need to do some quests that I don't really care about right now, or else I won't have a skill. And this skill won't be some optional skill either, it'll be like an AoE or something. They take these absolutely necessary skills and gate them behind doing job quests. So instead of enjoying the story at my own pace, now I feel like "come on come on just give me my skills so I can keep playing the game."

I am actually in the opposite boat, going back and picking up jobs. I just want to grind through the story. I am banging my head against the desk that I have to grind the game to level DRK so I can get the next job quest. When you have been playing at level 90 and have to drop down to level 35, well I don't enjoy it. Leads me to job skips and just watching the stories in the inns.

Hmm, I like job quests quests, but at the same time, its also a relief when I finish the last stormblood one.

I have a different view. We are obviously better than any trainer now. We are in a class of our very own.

However we should be put into a position where we are teaching a series of promising adventurers. We can be a part of THEIR story. Teaching them the basics and see how they perform could possibly give us ideas how to alter our older abilities ( new traits ).

Strong disagree. Classes need to be taken a long hard look at. Don't need a quest.

Seems like the general consensus here is their outright removal. Well then I guess theyll continue as is. Non-existant. Funny how much people praise this games story and world yet
