Whereas in FFXIV the plot cannot function without the main player. Despite being a voiceless avatar, the WoL has accomplished many great things and the characters on the world acknowledge those deeds, by name.
That is a fair point. Id argue that the player in WoW is like 80% of the reason things are even able to move on and that ff14 npcs seem completely helpless without the WoL around most of the time, but a fair point none the less.
