Quests are miss-able?

[Raldo]

I can't think of any important quests that are missable aside from seasonal events. With that said, this quest is basically just used to send you from point A to point B, so perhaps if you'd already visited point B, they just nullfiy the quest entirely.

Is there any chance that you have already picked up the quest "Gale-force Warning" (Vorsaile Heuloix, New Gridania, Adders' Nest [9.7,11.0])? It unlocks Garuda EX, so if you have that duty available, then Primal Nature is definitely no longer available. Alternatively, if you visit the above location, is "Gale-force Warning" available to you?
