Cleretic I think you'd enjoy XI a lot as the MC is just an adventure who's soul and body just seem for no reason be able to take the at times literal beatings it receives. If it be in the form of an old man who cheats while testing your limits. Unless you do said tests as a monk to Bahamut using an attack that would have killed a person with a less sturdy soul and body twice. (It could be looked at like what Midgardsormr did or the few times Elidibus did the failed body snatches). Where the MC just happens to be the one that plays a part in saving the world from whatever/whomever is the problem for which story you're going through. Spoilers a lot of things happen due to Odin's influence or direct involvement. The one thing that is a detractor for many is the whole NPC you know and saved the world with at least once already won't know you cause there isn't any real connective tissue with the stories. Except for Seekers of Alduin and Rhapsodies of Vana'diel. Where Zied, Gligamesh, Aldo and a few other reoccurring NPCs will go who the heck are you!? Who let you in here!? at the start even if 20mins ago you just saved the world with them for the 3rd time in another storyline.
