The moogle section in HW is a good example where you could do 1-2 errands for them and get the idea without slogging through it.

Also I wouldn't be opposed if they just didn't go so nuts on the XP rewards, or made ALL MSQ level-independent (or something like 2.0 is anything under 50; 3.0 anything 50-60). An alt of mine is almost 70 ONLY doing MSQ, just finishing Heavansward and a few random roulettes.. would rather finish a quest but collect rewards on an second job so slow that down a bit.
This is a very solid idea and, really, it already sort of feels like they are doing this in the design. The proof will be in the pudding as for what they do with it in the future but you can already feel that divide between the obvious "Big Quest" parts of the MSQ and stuff that could easily be pushed to optional side quests in the future.
