There is A LOT of other content outside of the Story (which really only lasts a short bit of time). MMOs pull players with varied interests, some will like story, some are here for other things. And there is nothing wrong with that.
It's not a comparison between the two formats (though that doesn't change the premise one bit) as it is still the fact that Final Fantasy games have always concentrated on story first. This isn't new.

This is no different other than the story is continuous.
