I like a lot of similar games as you. I enjoyed both Horizon games, mostly for the main story. I did very little side quests. The Norse arc of God of War also had a pretty good story. Neither of these are RPGs in the traditional sense, but they are similar.
Many people say FF14 is one of the best, but may take upto a few hundred hours to get good. I'm not there yet.
The Legends of Heroes series is supposed to be good, but I haven't gotten into them yet. Same with Mass Effect.
I also just realized you asked about World, but my comments apply to Rise. My mistake, sorry.
I'll give them a try, thanks.
Is FFXIV online? I played and loved XI (holy shit, it's still going!) but unfortunately, I cannot trust myself to play MMORPGs. It's too addictive for me. I'd end up losing my job because I wouldn't sleep or turn up lol. It's a shame but it's the way they're designed, which makes it hard to just log in for a quick hour.
14 is online, but it is better about letting you get one for a little bit, accomplish something and giving you a reasonable place to stop.
However, if you know you can't trust yourself then it probably isn't worth it.
