This might just be me but 8/10 "Role Play" Duties where we play as an NPC with the neutered version of a Job available to the WoL feel like the absolutely worst mandatory content in the game for me. It doesn't do the Job justice, it doesn't do the character justice most of the time and it just isn't fun in any way.
The one outlier is the Thancred stealth mission. That one actually shook things up enough to be interesting but the ones that are plain combat? I'd almost rather watch that happen in a cutscene than suffer through the "gameplay".
