Apparently, you do not play Final Fantasy Games. Side quests are not simple, one objective throwaways. Side quests in Final Fantasy games are intricately weaved in to the story. The serve to bring greater amounts of depths to Secondary character. They expand upon the world in which the game takes place.

The kind of quests demoed in this video are not side quests. They are XP throw aways. They serve no purpose except to give Solo players a way to gain XP.

If you want a quest base leveling system, you have to do it right. You don't give players five quests that ask them to kill 5 different monster ten times. That's just solo grinding. You make quests that involve the developments of the region in which they take place. You have them lead players to interesting places and to meet knew characters.

If your "Quest" requires you to talk to the starting NPC more than doing anything else, it's not a Quest. It's an XP give away. There shouldn't be hundreds of Quests. There should be dozens of long progressive quests.
