Rich and Vibrant World:
The game looks good, there's no doubt about that. Texture qualities could be improved in places, but it's not a big deal either way. Characters are not proportionate though, but they don't really have to be either, it's a fantasy world.

Most large scale MMO's have a decent backstory. Also, references to pop culture is not unique to this game.

The Community:
Can't say I share your experience. I've had more bad experiences with the community in this game than any other MMO I've played, but maybe I'm just unlucky.

The little details:
Yeah, love the attention to detail. Makes the world more alive.

More to come:
Golden Saucer looks interesting.

In Conclusion:
Game looks great, and have a good foundation to build upon. It manages to stay true to the franchise and most people a fan of it will probably feel at home. That being said, between the poor network coding, customer support, handling of RMT and at least in my opinion a rather dull and uninspired end-game in it's current form, I have no intention of subscribing.

I don't think you are. Me and many others have exact same experience. It's just a theory but I think it's because FFXIV's community mostly consists of ex-ffxi players (worst community I've ever experienced) and WoW outcasts.
