This. One of the great things about this game is that almost all content will remain relevant or viable always. Take your time, have fun and when you finally get to EW MSQ it'll be all the sweeter

Plus, there's a lot of changes that aren't story related like mViera, combat changes, new jobs... Still a lot to do with EW before reaching end of MSQ.
