Same here. I wanted an MMO that I could play on my PS3 in my living room, and be über casual with. FF14 was the answer to that want.
What kept me however, was ... that mostly our characters look alive! The level of emoting and expressions are on a whole higher level than any other MMO I've ever played. They seem like they have a soul. When we look at someone/something, we really look. They way we do things or express ourselves vary wildly (but believably) depending on what race or gender we play as. There are differences - like in the real world. There is huge RP-ability here. But mostly, it feels like I can really be another me in this game.
