A normal rpg is only like 15-40% this, with exploration, dungeons, and bosses being where you spend most your playtime.

50-60% Of msq was literally designed to be done for a few hours vs 40-hundreds of hours of dungeons/exploration/bosses. Its not a well designed for the way a new player experiences it.
There is exploring and battling both via the MSQ and outside of MSQ. You can literally explore and battle alongside doing MSQ or focus on MSQ, going from point A to point B while exploring and battling, then do the rest of the exploring and battling afterward.
