An omnipotent, far-reaching perspective and world building—are these two incompatible to you? (Twelve Kingdoms even has narration.) The overall scope, the bigger picture, of the story of Twelve Kingdoms is derived more from the setting itself. In the end, you're really just watching (or reading) about the fantastic world that Youko arrives in. This is not to say that Youko is worthless.

I'm sorry to hear that you completely missed out my question. I'm not confused on what you meant, I was merely expressing the fact that I found your idea ridiculous based on my observations. All I asked for was your reasonings behind it (i.e. examples that you can bring to make me consider it critically, like I did to convince you), since anyone can say just about anything without backing it up.
I was hoping you could provide something more solid to reinforce your idea that is different than mine but I am thinking that is too much to ask without being faced with some level of animosity so I'll stop asking here.
And the last statement applies to just about every anime in existence, you have to be watching the world
somehow. I once again, fail to see how majority of all that is seen from anything but Youko's perspective.

Its setting, while beautiful and important, matters "less."

We were only concerned with in which perspective the world was painted, not how much of it, since no one objected about Twelve Kingdoms lacking any details of its setting.
