You can easily see people saying "I bought this game to play, not watch cutscenes!"



We were kind of a nobody when the game starts out. That's the point though. You have humble beginnings, but an extraordinary gift. You over time grow into the WoL role, being central to the events in the story. Youre seen on average being on the same footing as many faction leaders (youre there during negotiations, the faction leaders listen to you and your opinions, rely on your expertise, and treat you as an equal). The game doesnt treat you as a foot soldier.

This isnt like WoW where you forever remain the faceless soldier. Again, in wow youre a hero, where in FFXIV youre the hero
Again, you have not been a faceless hero for some time now in WoW. The last 3 expacs at the very least. Hell in legion you were the leader of your class with a one of a kind weapon(Ashbringer for Ret pally). Npcs call you by title(commander,champion of the horde/alliance,archmage) rather then name likely due to server limitations. That doesn't seem much different then what FF has.
