Lots of jobs in the lore often thread on the trope of a dark and dangerous power put to the service of Good. The Dark Arts for the dark knight, the Inner Beat for the warrior, the Black Magic for the black mage, etc.

The MSQ talks a lot about the struggle against one's own dark side born out of one's own emotions. It's kinda sith in itself yeah, except as long as the dark knight keeps it in check and under control, then it's all good.

Spoilers ahead:

SpoilerThe quest goes a long way to follow the case of a dead dark knight (Fray) you happen to stumble upon, and take his soulstone. The story actually tells how you find yourself invested by all those emotions that governed Fray in his struggle against all the wrongs committed by the power in place in Ishgard.

It then goes a long way to describe how it's actually all about a journey of self discovery of one's inner, darker side. How you eventually confront your own self, being actually the same Fray that was talking to you all along. That Fray was all along that darker persona, that you have to tame and get the upper hand on.

The story takes great care of bringing you to its conclusion, that the emotions fueling your power as a dark knight are not necessarily tainted and corrupted. That any kind of strong emotion, actually, out of righteousness and pity, is the true essence of the job.

So, all in all, while the story is a lot about a self discovery of one's inner dark side, it still takes root in the same journey that Fray had to go through, like many ishardian dark knights before him.
