Power Fantasy [[Spoilers]]

[Juun]

This story just completely jumped the shark at the end and invalidated any emotional payoff at all. Do people not enjoy humility and just being a small part of a way larger world?

You would like WoW's story then. You are just a nameless champion that doesn't actually do anything significant and is just a means for the main characters to tell a narative.

I like FFXIV story because my character is actually part of the story and the main character. Makes me feel more attached to the other main characters I fight with and my own player character too.

I feel like it's just a natural progression for MMOs. Level 5, you help a lost kitty, level 90, you kill nihilism because you killed so many gods the ones who remain are all at your beck and call at this point.

Hopefully the end of this story arc marks the end of this specific power creep. Maybe some time away from the action and away from Hydaelyn will diminish our power a bit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This only applies to WoW Classic. Current WoW expansions are just as 'chosen one' and 'god killer' as FFXIV is now, the only difference being is that the characters almost never refer to you by name ('champion', 'maw walker' is said about twice as much in WoW to refer to you than 'warrior of light' is in FFXIV), and they still try to distance you from the story in cutscenes, because the WoW writers have an IV drip of everclear.
