They are not going to just relegate them to an NPC speech or delete them entirely.

I'm not saying they will be exactly the same quests, because obviously they will have to be changed because of the geography difference. I'm merely trying to say that the story will be mostly the same, and it will be playable. This is what I believe.
So you'd be upset if they gave new quests to new players, but not if they gave them "filled out, more important" quests? Bottom line is they won't be the same, and there is no guarantee current players will get to do them. What is important to you? That there are the same number of quests, they unlock at the same level and they contain the same things or have the same names?

That would give the new players exlusive new beginning quests that i wouldn't be able to experience since they would be meeting these characters differently than me. I don't like that at all lol.
Well then you may need to make a new character to experience it, just like any future player would have to make a character now to experience current events.
And it could create a whole plethora of problems in the future. What if a quest refers back to a quest that you haven't done, because you played the 1.XX version? It could create story inconsistincies.
I am sure SE will be careful about being consistent as possible. They won't refer to events that haven't happened to both sets of players, and they will have the story lines merge to a unified story.

The quests are changing. Everything about them could change. They could be be condensed into 2-3 quests and added on to or expanded to have more quests. (Personally I thought the gap between quests was far too long)

Parts of the quests (or entire quests) may be removed if they refer to things that are no longer relevant after the world assplodes. The story line as we knew it will not be the same. I'm not saying people won't arrive in Limsa on a boat, but they don't have to, and that's ok.
