Apparently FF14 is an RPGMMO, instead of being an MMORPG.

People take that to mean that the RPG elements are more important. But where are the RPG elements?

Does gear choice matter? No.
Does the story allow for meaningful roleplay and choices? No.
Does the gameplay contain puzzles? No.
Do party members have their own motivations and conflicts? No.
Does it have a complex world that responds to player choice? No.
Does the combat require strategic thinking? No.

Why is this an RPGMMO exactly?
