Yeah, the main problem with the 5 NMs is it really exiles players just getting into the Moogle fight. With how asinine and irritating the prereq is, no one will want to do it more than absolutely necessary to continue. Hell, even though it's not by a huge margin, I get irritated if I don't have Swiftsong on me at all times while walking like an idiot across the area. The devs keep making decisions that cause me to seriously question if they have a QA team, because I cannot look at this in any other way but the incredibly cynical viewpoint that the quest was constructed like this strictly to waste time, and annoy the players into not doing it all day.
