    Is this a troll account?
    MPK second account?

    When was the last time you read a book?
    There's no voice acting in books, no images either, yet a good writer can immerse you in the story.

    Ofc there's no sense of emergency, it's an MMO and it's limited as you need players to have access to every content unlocked at any point.
    It's also a design that reach other games, FF XV and VIIR had a way to "go back in time", Dragon Quest also somewhat had a way to go back in time. An RPG cannot lock you out of previous content as there is many side quest and such.

    You cannot compare those to story game such as Detroit:Become Human or The Last of Us, those aren't RPG but more interactive movies (Detroit behing much more on the story side with many paths.)
    That's comparing Milk and Cheese, those are the same base but meant to be consumed in different ways.

    Plus, I doubt you understand what a Mary Sue is.
    A Mary Sue is a character loved by all and jealoused by its ennemies, a Mary Sue is always right and has no weakness or flaws.
    Rey from Star Wars is a good example, suddenly stronger than most if not all jedi, can pilot any ship or repair it.

    I don't know who you identify as a Gary/Mary sue there. A character that miraculously survive is not a Mary Sue. That's more of a plot armor.

    Well i disagree on this part. An RPG can, should, and has, very well cut you off from side content if you progressed to far with no way to returning.
    Xenoblade 1 and 2 are examples of that

    In 1 several Dozen of side Quests can be entirely missed and become inacessable do to story progression rendering the Area they where located in inacessable.
    Several parts of the Colectopedia(a system where you use items found on the field to fill it in and gain rewards if you finish a "page"(aka all items of a certain type in a certain location) could no longer be found do to the area being no longer existing. The only way to ever doing them, is finishing the game, and starting New game+ on the fiel(or doing an entirealy new file) at which point however, you have to play the ENTIRE game again(granted its far easier do to you being overleveld as all hell)

    2 does the same, but far less seveer with only 1 Region becoming inacessable and that area having very few quests to begin with(like maybe a dozen quests total)

    Funnily enough Xenoblade X, despite being the closests to being a single player MMO there is in my opinion in terms of Structure, combat, and other factors.(as in it feels like an MMO.. just without it being an MMO actualy) still has missable content, the Lao heart to hearts are missable completly, do to story reassons making them inacessable after a certain story progression.(however they are not tied with any achievements, or completion Percentage(you can get 100% without them))

    however FFXIV is an MMO, so it cant do that, sadly i do say that this is my biggest gripe with the game, it cant change Field Areas, citys etc more then visualy changing a model(So you cant have for example Ishgard with a pillar blocking the Stairs as the main ishgard map as that would create two different collission maps, one for those who arent yet there, and one for those wo are yet there, it can only change the pillar that is already there, to be destroyed, it has the same colission as the OG pillar, but looks visualy different)
