Famitsu interview with Yoshida after NA's FanFest

[Nezerius]

Another relic????? ..... I hope our Anima can be evolved or turned in to start it or i'm not doing it.

I'm assuming you started in 3.0, since it shouldn't really come as a surprise that 4.0 will have a new relic weapon.

When the 3.0 relic was added, players were allowed to turn their finished zodiac weapon (the 2.x relic) in to skip the first step of it (the fate grind step). It's probably safe to assume that the 4.0 relic will see something similar.

Ok my fault exact same number of quests with 3X the budget.

You're taking that example way too literally. Yoshi is just saying that if 2.x had roughly 57% of its quests related to the MSQ, then 4.0 will have roughly 71% of its quests related to the MSQ.
