I mean, I realize that i if there is fame at the moment, it does not matter, but there is a possibility that it is recorded somewhere for later purposes. And in a sense, I feel that the sidequests related to the grand companies will be sequential so there is a certain form of ''fame building'' here.

I think a fame system is necessary to make you feel like you contribute to the world, because all those sidequests taken individually do not give a strong feeling of accomplishment. If more fame = more challenging and more rewarding quests available, I'm all for it.

In XI it was only a pain for those who wanted to shortcut to the important rewards right as they started playing. I hope the devs will look into this question.
To my knowledge there isn't any form of fame in this game. But I say the fame quests should be optional so the people that don't want to do them don't have to. Just have it where the people that want to do the fame quests, get a little extra money, more challenging quests as you progress in fame, some some unique items(nothing too powerful), and other miscellaneous things that won't keep people from progressing in the story or game.
