Why does it bother you that people play FF games for a different reason?

Quite frankly, the first few FF games had some of the most unapologetically generic stories, and the rest were received poorly by many people who aren't invested in the franchise (and even those who are. See: every argument about what the best/worst FF games are).

There are a lot of people who would prefer to play this game without the chore of doing the MSQ, and the possibility of stifling subscription numbers by disallowing people from doing the content that all of their friends are playing by forcing them to slog through something they don't want to do is a poor decision for everyone involved. You're only hurting yourself in the long run.
