Do we have a source for this?

As much as the quests could definitely use some streamlining, it's a more intricate process than just cutting out every 'tedious' quest and making it a sidequest. A lot of them move the plot forward - painfully slowly perhaps, but they still need to happen at that point in the story.

No, you don't need to sniff the chocobo, but you do need to get the Doman refugees onto that cart and traveling to Ul'dah. You can't remove that quest, you have to rewrite it to alter the point-by-point objectives.

Going through the entire plot like that would be quite an intensive process.
