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

[TheMightyMollusk]

While I'd love to see some of the job NPCs come back for more, most of the stories had pretty good conclusions. I don't know what else could really be done with, for example, the dark knight, red mage, or dancer stories without feeling like it's just dragging it out.

And a few of them were getting pretty weak. Warrior kept falling back on the "Curious Gorge loses control again" crutch, white mage's Stormblood story was really a conjurer quest, and paladin.....ugh, paladins haven't really had their own story since Heavensward, and that one was pretty bad (even the quest dialogue calls Solkzagyl's scheme out as pointlessly contrived!).

So, I dunno. If they can make them actual good stories again, great, but if it's just there for the sake of being there, I'll pass.

Ngl, WHM and PLD questlines are exactly why I'm ok with role quests* instead. Sure, someone will always get the short end of the stick, but at least most jobs had an overarching story going on while those 2 specially were a crystal clear case of "so....what do we do now...?" and I'd rather not drag them further than what they already have.

*the ShB ones were good and thematically fitting, but the EW ones were 5 side story questlines with a random role slapped on top.
