I haven't got super duper far into it, but I really like the way Vana'diel is portrayed in this game. The character models and environment looks really nice!

Be aware: You can't fully complete the event until you have access to the Cursed Wheel. Without spoiling too much, this requires reaching the end of Beginning Abyss once and playing a little bit more after that.
And because it's easy to miss, remember that once you've triggered the event quest, you can obtain one of the three FFXI characters for free (or one of three other characters if for some reason you don't want them) via an NPC that will appear near the entrance of B1F of Beginning Abyss.
If they do more with FFXI in future, they should have Lillith. She fits perfectly.
also Mithra party members like Semih Lafihna
I discovered recently, that much like in XI's default settings, if you leave the game at the title screen for a while, it will start playing the original title theme Vana'diel March after initially playing the normal title theme for the game.
The default setting plays the current expansion's theme once and then switches to the vanilla theme. But, as you might have, you can change the title theme on the main menu's config screen.
Also I was mistaken how it works in Wizardry, there's simply a random chance it plays Vana'diel March instead of the normal title theme when you boot the game up during the event.
So in an interesting development, while the event itself has concluded, the dungeon and village introduced with the FFXI event remain in the game and the relic weapons can still be obtained and completed. The castle is now populated solely with Wizardry enemies, the music is standard, and the bridge to the throne room is collapsed. The special battle mechanics of the dungeon are retained though.
The only catch with the relic weapons is the trading NPC is gone so you must find all of the relic materials yourself.
While you can no longer obtain the event characters, all of the legendary characters in the game are rotated in and out at periodic intervals so they should be obtainable again later.
