Amount of quests after patch: 24
So, much like the Gridania side, the overabundance of collect and kill quests was deleted altogether or from the quest. It helps create a much faster, stronger pace.
What I mean by this, is that when you are on the carriage, the first thing we experience is the corruption of the Brass Blades. In the original, while we still deal with this, it's easy to forget about because we end up focusing more on daily lives. The deletion of those quests keeps us focused on the Brass Blades and the corrupt Syndicate.
The same happened with Gridania - we stay focused mostly on Moogles and Ixal, and they are emphasized in the carriage in that section. We still learn the daily lives but not to the point that feels like we lost the plot anymore.
On a side note, do you Class Quest before any other side quest. There are two level 3 side quests and level 4 side quests you should do as they give level 5 gear you need for inspection. Those quests require you to kill certain beasts and they are all on your hunting log which you require by completing your Level 1 Class Quest. Also, at level 5, they give you your level 5 weapon (the last piece of level 5 gear you need comes from the main scenario).
You need to do some side quests anyway because Close to Home doesn't give enough experience to reach level 4.
