But there is no area in overworld of XIV that comes even close to what areas like Dragon's Defense, Dragonfall, and basically any zone with a huge boss at the end, which are basically overworld raids.

In comparison, The Fringes have relatively low FATEs related to the war which is going on the map. In GW2 the whole map would feel like a military operation. Theming is one of the weakest points in map design along explorability.
