What will happen then? I really don't want the story to be "missable" if you don't start playing before a certain expansion comes along, they already did that once and that's enough.

Best way would be to overhaul the story and cut out all the fluff quests I guess. How did FFXI do it?
There was a great reward at the end of the CoP quests at least. SE should've done that with FFXIV story quests too. Then even though you don't have to do the quests, you for sure would want to.
