If you hadn't even reached level 50 the first time around there is a lot of the ARR MSQ that you haven't seen yet.
Of course, the fact that you actually have been through part of it before can make it hard to keep up the excitement, but I know that if it had been 5+ years since I went through that content last my memory of it would be quite fuzzy and in need of refreshment.

Doing PotD to level your main job isn't something I would recommend - it gets very repetitive and boring after a while. The MSQ+sidequests+some roulettes should give you more than enough XP to level up, and also gives you all the gear you need while leveling.
Thank you for the reply. My problem is mostly I'm too concerned about my lvl. I want to enjoy the story but I don't want to be gated and have to grind for it. I'd rather grind first then I can enjoy the story till the end. I was thinking getting 1 job to lvl 70 will eliminate that requirement. I can just push through until maybe right before ShB.

Yes potD is boring as hell Hahaha..
