They can write the story the way they want to instead of having to write around certain players. Thats the biggest weakness of 14's story.I havent played other mmo's besides eso so i cant really say much on comparing stories between mmo's. I think earlier 14 was great like ARR and HW when the writes werent afraid to write what they wanted to. But now it feels like theyre trying to appease the community as best as possible with their writing and its just turned into a huge hugfest.
I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about here. I don't recall people ever complaining and telling the devs what to put in the story. Everyone just lets the devs and writers do their thing, and then we all discover the story together. I've never seen feedback about the direction of the story and how to write it. I also have to disagree about the other FF games being more engaging and fun. The games are good with some of them being meh, but FF14 is definitely among the best story-wise.
