Different games are designed to offer different experiences. FF XIV might just not be the experience you are looking for, but that doesn't make it any less valid for targeting experiences you find unpleasant.

I found it unpleasant because it was just a poorly handled plot arc. Not because it wanted to instill certain emotions.
