Maybe they'll pull a 'Wings of the Goddess' esque expansion and we'll go back in time when there was a war between nations, but I doubt they'll make it in the present day.

What ever happened to good writing?
Nowadays in MMO's it's either two/three factions fighting one another for arbitrary reasons for the sake of gameplay or everyone is holding one another's hand singing kumbaya while some "big bad" threat is knocking at the doorstep, IT'S BORING and lazy!
Character depth, ambition, nuances, political drama, factions fighting, cold wars. Warcraft of years ago (and 1-60 Cataclysm) was the only mmo where I was left wondering, "I wonder what that character has up their sleeve? I wonder what those guys are going to do about that? Wow I'm beginning to care about some of these characters." Those days are long gone from WoW however and it's no different here. The only remotely interesting place was Ishgard.
Some conflict and more interesting characters would really liven up the story. A cheap rehash of FF2, 6, and 7 isn't acceptable
There are SO MANY games where you choose a warring faction to join, most of them MMOs. This one has so much potential to become a great story based on coorperation. Let's not take a hot steaming dump on it.
