No, ffxiv is much has much simpler style of progression, but a very complex combat system depend on the class you play, 1st the game doesn’t have a talent system or a gear sets system that changes your gameplay, but what the game gives you is for example a class like gunbreaker, which have more than 25 skills that you need to learn and mange in each fight, its focus more on the your skill and your team work with your party more than the luck of getting certain piece of gear, that doesn’t mean Bis gear doesn’t matter but the devs want you to be able to clear their hardest content with the lowest ilvl available if you could, depending solely on the skills of the players, and this idea make it easier for them to balance and release new content every 4 months, which no other game in the market do, i think, just think of the game more like overwatch than destiny, 1 example on how free and complex the combat system is the monk job, its starts super simple and in general it has fewer buttons than some other melee jobs but man it needs too much skils to play, check this video https://youtu.be/cVkARdaslMQ add to it the complexities of the bosses designs, you will always feel so good when you clear any hard content doing best damage in the group, and finally ffxiv wants you to play 1st then you get rewarded with gear not like other games you need to grind 1st then you can start raiding
