Main characters die all the time though in the series, that’s my point lol. 14 seems to be one of the very few ones that doesn’t take those risks and instead prides itself on its slice of life deus ex machina anime moments.

Again, a handful of games where main characters die in the series doesn't make a rule and doesn't make FFXIV one of the "few" ones.

FF13, everyone is revived at the end of the 2nd sequel. FF12, the main characters go through an extremely similar plot to FF14 and none of the main characters die, 2 get a fake-out. Reks is not a main character and he doesn't even die on screen, he dies later after getting stabbed. FF11, the other MMO, another fake-out death with Lion and we lose a tertiary character with Fickblix. Unless you want to count the sympathetic villain in ToAU. FF10, at the end we lose one main character who already died and wasn't killed or sacrificed just "my job is done, peace", as well as the main, main character but his death his reversed in the sequel. FF9, lots of horrible happens, none of the main characters die except maybe Vivi in the near future after the game. FF8, none of the main characters die. FF6, none of the main characters die despite the whole world ending. FF3 DS (the one with actual main characters that aren't blanks), everyone is safe. One character suffers a major injury in the novelization, which is immediately repaired with magic as if nothing happened.

Per the very recent Famitsu interview, the remaining Scions are considering main characters as they would be in a single player game. They're not even NPCs anymore, we play as them sporadically starting in SB and we play a bunch together at the very end of the ShB patches.

Guest characters don't count in this. If you want to count guest characters or important NPCs, then we can include Ysayle, Papylymo, Yda, Minfilia, Mide, the Samurai quest NPC, Ejika, Gunnhilder's Blades, Anogg, half of the original Scion NPCs, etc.

If you want to count Type-0 which isn't a numbered FF game, then we can also throw in Tactics, Tactics Advance, Tactics Advance A2, Crystal Chronicles Series (with multiple fake-out deaths), that all end with the main playable characters alive. And then FF7 Remake for its main cast (so far) and fake and reversed deaths for side characters.

No, Iscah knows what I'm talking about.
