but in the actual game world we will always be good and our decisions will always be perceived as the right ones as that's what the game is about.
The game, by its own admission, heavily takes inspiration from WoW and various other games. To the point of outright doing crossovers with completely different franchises altogether at times.

There's many different potential routes that the writers could take moving forward and the game can preach what it likes, no player has any obligation to perceive anything a particular way or even agree with it. Admittedly I don't really self insert in this game to the point many other FFXIV players seem to. Even as a roleplayer, I gave up on trying to roleplay in this game on the basis of the player being granted so little agency or meaningful dialogue choices.

I'm not sure how any of that equals an inability to have characters with more varied personalities to appeal to a broader variety of personal tastes, though.

The single player Final Fantasy games have no issue providing a main cast with more variety in terms of personalities and belief systems and it's perfectly possible for a story to bring a band of characters from very different backgrounds together to work alongside each other for the sake of a shared goal.
