However I suspect the answer is that the gameplay of visual novels doesn't allow the hardcore to distinguish themselves.
Even some visual novels try to involve some kind of engagement with the player--player choice and multiple endings being some of the more common. This is still "gameplay" insomuch that it provides opportunity for the player to be an active participant--something that is ultimately missing in FF14's story atm.
