I feel that the sylphlands have the best music, not sure why but it's sort of grown on me.

Stuff I like about XIV:
Being able to do everything on one char is brilliant.
Traveling to Mor Dhona and being confronted with a truly bizarre /shout fest.
That I always have something to do when I login, I see a lot of people say it's easy to level everything to 50 and wonder what the hell I did wrong when it took me nearly 2 months of casual play to level my ACN to 50.
Crafting. The economy may be a mess but my WVR lets me wear pseudo-vanity while not doing endgame stuff.
