I was able to caught up with FFXIV without having having to look up outside resources because most of everything is centered around one simple continuous questline called the MSQ, which is a focal point of the game, whereas I had to look up outside resources to make sense of WoW's more convoluted questlines, which is exacerbated by other design choices, but those are not the point of this thread.
What I am saying is everything within FFXIV story can remain as it is but maybe just make the content a level gate instead of story. No one is asking them to remove the MSQ tracker, with that tracker it would be impossible to really lose track of the msq like it is in WoW.
