In fact, I would say the only key difference would be:
DRK storyline Fray - "Why does EVERYBODY in Eorzea feel the need to beg the Warrior of Light for help with some random menial task?!"
Miranda Fray - "Eorzeans in general are arrogant, selfish, ungrateful pricks...why should I bother helping YOU when you're just a member of the scummy nation I hate the most?"
But what about the rest of your characters? Would "Fray" have probably turned out pretty much the same way had your own character grabbed that Soul Crystal and become a DRK themselves? Or would he/she have been the manifestation of some other dark side of your character?
Alternatively, if you RP a DRK yourself, what were the similarities (if any)?
Taken as a whole, the 30-70 jobquests give you Cecil Harvey's character arc, instead of making you generic Frank Miller grimdark fantasy Batman. Minus the whole jobchange to paladin bit. So it suited my toon just fine
