didn't the devs themselves say this is a "ff game first and mmo second" (i heard it from someone but i'm not sure if it's true)
If they said that, it must've been several years ago. I think you could argue that was true in ARR and HW, but I think after Gordias they got so scared of repeating that disaster that they swapped it to "MMO first, FF after."

That, or they're assuming that MSQ is literally the only thing that matters. But idk if I'd even call it an "FF game" from that standpoint, either... most FF's aren't just glorified visual novels. You know? They were never the hardest or most nuanced games, absent self-imposed challenge runs, but the MSQ is now so safe and steamrolled that it really is basically just a visual novel with extra steps.
