Story is story, it involves reading a lot of text. If you've played all the old Final Fantasies, then that shouldn't be a problem for you.
I don't see how it's a 'scam' in any sense.

You have to realise that at one point, all of these quests between the end of ARR and the start of HW were patch content. They would come 10-15 quests at a time, and that's all the story you had to hold yourself over for the next three months.
Ultimately you're playing through old content, it's essentially four games in one, and you need to play through them in order before you get to the current story.

If that format isn't for you that's fine, but it's not some kind of 'trick' or anything.
I can't say I understand the mindset of someone who enjoyed old Final Fantasies complaining about the amount of story content, but you do you.

That's just it. I've played enough FF games, and my call is those quests are about time wasters, not story.
