Do you want to play Final Fantasy XIV?

I want to play it because I'm looking for a quality p2p MMO that doesn't have 'modern combat systems' like what other MMOs are trying to pull off now. I prefer the art and lore by Japanese developers over Western work.
The initial thing I thought of about the game due to the immense hype pre-release was something like a form of escapism from the real world; I wanted to blend in with the world and not have my character be something to rank up only to beat end-game content.

tld;r I'm with the first statement.
