it’s more common to play OCs from the setting than the protagonist role the game puts the player in. it avoids the whole spider-man pointing at spider-man meme, and because of that it was considered gauche to play a actual warrior of light.

as a aside, i don’t think it’s a problem playing a wol in dwrp - it’s a lot easier if you’re playing with someone who’s canon blind or just somewhat familiar if you kind of have a storyline and history on hand. it’s very different in ffxiv because if someone is playing the game then they’re already invested in the world and probably are very familiar with the setting, so they’re able to create more elaborate backgrounds like Upchuck McGee from the street corner who is actually a secret lab test experiment that escaped, a surly magician that performs unauthorized autopsies in the name of research and disguises their activities with a taxidermy shop, and so on. or it could be just as something as simple as “stupid man who is loud and likes to punch things” and participate in fight tournaments.

I wish this were true because all the ff14s I've ever seen around and in games have been wols. The worst part is that they ruin it for mmo rpers in general because mods will just ban all mmo rp characters to avoid the trouble altogether.

Most mmos have stories that assume your character is one of many even if your character might get to be the main character on certain quests. The way ff14 is setup with the NPCs and your role in the story and how one character can play all the classes in the game perfectly is what encourages people to create overpowered self-inserts they are way too invested in.
