This is akin to how in FFXI a group might say "We beat the Shadowlord and saved the realm! Huzzah!" ...and then everyone who hasn't finished that particular arc is left somewhat disenchanted or otherwise says, "No you didn't, I just saw a cutscene saying the Shadowlord is still ravaging the realm!" or what-have-you.
I used to do this all the time in WoW and LoTRO. I'd take down the Lich King and go HAHHA WE DEFEATED THE LICH KING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!.... until 7 days from now when our dungeon timer resets and he magically is alive again!!
Friend responds: We must of triggered a time warp!!! NOoooO
Anyhow I see it as the classes we get ad adventurers are just that.. classes. We are always going to be our class (the main class levels with our job). While we are given the gift to become something like a Dragoon or Paladin we are never a "true" version of that. We simply embody the spirit of which makes up said job.
Why I can be a bard, then swap to a polearm and dragoon gem and suddenly I am a dragon. I've basically embodied the spirit of a dragoon. Will one day a "true" job holder come along, surely! But until that time we are merely channeling the spirit of adventures of old.
Then again I could have this all wrong...
