Post What You Like About XIV

[DeadRiser]

The world. It's beautiful, though I do wish it was bigger. I was very excited that they added treasure maps. To travel again and not duty find from Revenant's Toll has tickled me pink. I love traveling on chocobo with the rest of my party, passing by lower leveled people.

The music. Even though the music isn't on loop, what they have in each zone fits very well.

The general aesthetics of the game. From gear design to color schemes, it just adds to the beauty of the world. Can't wait till we can dye unique/untradeable gear

I love the story. It's hard for me to get into any game if I don't have a good understanding of what I am fighting for and why. I have seen plenty of negative comments about it, but the storyline so far really sucks me in and has me craving more

I love the beautiful world. Though there are aspects I miss from 1.0, I think they did a very good job fleshing it all out for 2.0.

I really like the unique looks for all the different jobs and crafting classes, it's not all the same generic robe look for casters like some other MMOs, everything has its own theme.

I like the fact that they are adding in a wide variety of content, giving everyone (or most everyone) something to look forward to with each upcoming patch.

Hmm. Roegadyn beefcakes. Thought I would be crushing on the cat boys but nope!

Mounts (when I have enough I will dedicate a specific mount to each class)
Minions
Crafting
The self-sufficiency that would allow me to avoid using the market boards completely if I wasn't so lazy
The touching Alchemist, Carpenter, and Goldsmith class quests that were about helping people in need rather than saving the guild's reputation
The FFXIV Gif thread
Crystal Tower/Labyrinth of the Ancients
HILDIBRAND!! That quest line was amazing! ^_^
ULTROS!

What I like:

PLD's design
General pacing and storytelling
female highlanders
the music
my lalafell's deceivingly cute animations
current party dynamics

[tymora]

Multi-job system (not necessarily the armory incarnation but yeah. E.g. FFV's, FFXI's)

Ranked in order of awesomeness..

1. It's final fantasy. It has ifrit and friends, and it's online?!
2. Livia battle music, Garuda music, Copperbell/Haukke HM music, ff2 battle music.
3. It has content for both casual and hardcore. In my opinion hardcore != VERY hardcore which makes up for maybe 1 % of the population.. And this is the best thing it has to offer.
4. It understands that skill != air time.. Grinding only gets you so far.
5. It has so many things to do..and still has more coming up?!
6. It's cheaper entertainment than most things people do for entertainment.. And offer just as much value.

all of the above + all the allusions to the previous FF series.
