You are greatly exaggerating. This game is supposed to be an MMO, and while the story is an important part of the overall experience, it is something with very little replay factor.
Instead of reworking the story, more work should go into fun, repeatable gameplay content, and not the giant cutscene that is MSQ.

Stormblood was regarded as the games weakest story, and yet is remembered fondly because of how many different types of content it introduced to the game. If Square Enix can deliver on the promises they have made in the past, it could be that this expansion will be just equally fondly remembered, outside of the story bits.

Not gonna lie, I don't care if the entire MSQ of a patch is bringing Alphinaud to the river of a thousand politicians so he can wash his face in it, so long as the gameplay stuff we get around it is fun and enjoyable.
