My own thoughts have all been expressed here.
One thing I'd add is that I get that feeling that SE, much unlike most companies these days, do not want to do everything possible to make the game easier for us. For the japanese in general, a game -should- be challenging, or at least that's what I perceive from them.
Remember back when we got the first final Fantasy games over in America? How ridiculously easy and simple Final Fantasy II US was compared to Final Fantasy IV?
A lot of gamers these days simply can't stomach anything more complicated than mashing their iwin key or, for the more hardcore gamers, looking on the interwebs for the best strategy and applying it blindly.
I'm pretty happy with how things are right now.
As for content, I get the feeling it's simply not there because it's beta.
Either that, or we'll just have to look for quests, by talking to NPC's. Quest givers don't have big exclamation points over their heads, so I get the feeling it's a matter of looking around and talking to people.
Just look at how the first storyline quest "ends". I only completed the one form Limsa Lominsa so far but it definitely doesn't "end". There is SO much mysteries yet unsolved once you've done the chain, it's simply impossible that there isn't anything else, later.
