These quests suck.

[Jinko]

FFXI had those too. And they definitively were on a different level. So I don't believe this to be acceptable.

LOL indeed they were, fame quests were F'ing awful.

I've done every side quest in the game, yes they a little mindless with their run here - run there - kill this - kill that layout but, its just side content its not mean to be that in depth or the main content of the game.

Grand Companies quests are much better, Yoshida plans to add low level quests chains to the tutorial in 2.0, hopefully they will expand that into the rest of the game.

I'd agree with what GreyJorildyn says above that quests should provide a tether to follow (hopefully 2.0 will add this) leading the player to new area's and zones.

Also agree that having quests with a pool of rewards you can choose from would help make them more worth while especially if the items match that of the level of the quests.

We have to remember that final fantasy is a game that prides itself on quests/side quests. And even the main ones are dull as shit.

FFXIII's quests stone things were boring as shit as well, and very much go kill this ! kind of quests.
