Take TES games for example. You can do anything you want, you can completely ignore the story, you can level and do stuff without touching the story. That's the kind of game these players want. That's what I call a sandbox game. That's what for example WoW is.

On the other hand take Final Fantasy games, you HAVE TO do the story, in most cases you can't even leave the first area without doing the story, you don't get new jobs/classes, you don't get new weapons, you don't get new characters. That's the kind of game FFXIV is (baffling, ey?). That's what I call a story-focused themepark game.

The story is not the only goal, it isn't the only thing you can do, but it's the MAIN thing. And people who don't like this have CLEARLY chosen the wrong game.
