I feel like FFXIV has spoiled me. Advancing the main story is always an explicit action in FFXIV. You never get into a situation like you do in single player RPGs where you have to guess which path is the intended one and which is a side path you should explore while you still have a chance. Sure it takes some of the mystery out of the whole experience, but it’s so much less stressful overall that it’s well worth the tradeoff.
