Spotify too much music?
Being overwhelmed with too much choice is actually a real issue in game design. To give an example, many open world games suffer from this issue where they throw you into a huge world with so many things to do that you kind of lose direction. A large number of players can feel so overwhelmed that they just drop the game. In the case of ffxiv I would not say it has this issue cause the content is so short and insignificant, but in other games it can definitely happen.
