The side quests usually tie in with what's happening in the MSQ, so I don't think they're meant to be done separately. At least it's likely not what the story team had in mind for them.

Not to mention that it's rather unpractical to find quests that match the level of whatever job you're currently playing as. Wouldn't you have to teleport to each map and check the quest markers one by one? Surely you'd agree that that's not exactly well designed and worthy of improvement, right?
