The quests there are fine in my opinion. They come in reasonable batches that you can do all at once. Those moogles were definitely far worse (although unlike most I still enjoyed them for the most part).

Current speculation is that Idyllshire is going to be the new Rev Toll, especially given certain NPCs that can be found there. I expect we're going to see some dramatic transformations there over the course of the 3.x patch cycle as they rebuild the city. Having it be a separate map may be necessary to handle some of the future changes they have planned for the area.

Given that the location of Alexander's summoning from the trailers has him located directly up the river from them I wonder if he may have some impact on them as well. It's fairly easy to guess who will summon him and why now. He's famous for firing giant holy lasers and that tower directly above Idyllshire looks like a prime target to me.
