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?

Ah, thank you for the insight.

FF14 is not actually an RPGMMO, or an MMORPG. It's an ERPGMMO

When you don't know what words mean everything can be your own truth, guess OP wanted to show off that shiny Trump University degree.

Its sad that instead of embracing what makes JRPG games unique developers like yoship sees the word JRPG as derogatory and are trying to cater more to the western society with devil may cry and the Witcher type gameplay.
