I found the job quests to be extremely lacking too, they never explain what reawakening even is or how/why you do it, kinda like how the Reaper job quests never explain how Enshrouding works. Basically, a Viper is a hunter from Turali and we never really go further into it than that.
Yeah, I remember in a Live Letter they specifically said you would learn about Reawaken during the job quests and yet .....it's just there. The job itself just feels like a visual concept with mechanics added so that it functions. When I'm playing it I know what buttons to press, but thematically it doesn't really feel like I know what I'm doing. It's just big fast flashes.
