It isn't even a "take it easy" kind of content. It's a "Find the right location, then do something else while waiting for X and Y". It's called Sightseeing. I have seen the sights.

No, it's not something you're meant to check off as quickly as possible, that's why they didn't simply say "Go here", "Go there". They made you think about where the location is, they made you find it. Once you find it, the pointless waiting begins though. Seeing as I now actively have to wait and do something different, it actually is something I want to check off as soon as possible. There is fun in figuring out the location. There is no fun in waiting for the seasons to change.
The don't wait. Go there when the setting is right. Some of us relish the moment when everything aligns up properly. Videogames don't have to be just about fun, they can also be emotionally enriching in other ways too. I think surrounding yourself with the mechanics of Eorzeas nature can be part of that enrichment if you let yourself relax and soak it in.

If the patience required such a burden, you really don't need to focus on (or even attempt) it at all.
It just seems to be making a big deal out of nothing.
