Too Many Mundane Quests

[TomTom1968]

2.3's Storyline is a good example of mundane quests.

After defeating a Primal, they send you to recruit over a dozen of people spread out in Limsa, Gridania and Ul'dah and afterwards you gotta deliever clothes to 8 people. Really? Defender of Eorzea and Warrior of Light has to do such things? Doesn't feel very heroic.

If quests like these are sidequests, OK. But please leave those "walk around in every corner Eorza's" quests out of the main story. Intense dialoges and cutscenes and fights against big enemies is what I look for when I play the Main story. They did a good job with the 2.3 story but the side quests in it were meh at best.

Sorta tangential for me to comment on this but I really would like it if they'd relegate the excessively drawn-out, on-the-nose recaps and over explanations to optional post-CS NPC conversations... Hasn't been a quest in the game yet that doesn't have at least some aspect of "yeah, I get it" to it. Does that make sense? How there's like 2min of dramatic, pertinent plot then 40min of the characters saying the exact same things over and over in different ways in case anyone didn't pick up on the plot. Doesn't seem like particularly compelling storytelling which irritates me because the story itself is compelling in its own right.
