Amoung of quests after patch: 23
Similar to Gridania and Ul'dah, the plot has been tightened and useless objectives cut from the main scenario. The most interesting aspect is that they have been cut so they have roughly the same amount of quests with Ul'dah only having one more quest then Gridania and Limsa Lominsa.
Final thoughts on city-state storylines
The biggest thing here is that I no longer consider Lominsa the best storyline to playthrough now. Before the patch, Gridania's storyline was absolutely padded while Ul'dah felt only a bit padded. Lominsa had very little padding - mostly staying on point.
After the patch? The four quests of Ul'dah that felt the most padded were deleted off the main scenario so focus is easily kept and only altering one quest. As for Gridania? It faced the most change in pace - deleting six quests and altering two. The most changed of the three. Lominsa changed the least with three deleted quests and that's it.
The pace of the three have become more equal overall. A very welcome change for new players.
