Yeah some will say more to come in the future but we are fast approaching a year. Patch 1.18 was supposed to be the fix we had all been waiting for, now everyone is saying it's 1.19 and when that comes the real fix will be 1.20. You get the idea. SE should count themselves lucky to have such devoted fans.
I don't know about you, but I count over 100 quests atm not considering the new ones we got. I know its a joke compared to other MMOs at release, but considering quests weren't even planned at the beginning...

Plus, we got Grand Companies now and I can tell, I think the storyline looks promising and it was fun so far to do them. Plus we get the continuation of the quests in 1.19

People can farm seals to get equip or items, people can farm deaspected crystals to exchange for stuff now. Handing in sidequests gives a shitton of SP(last main storyline quest 46k SP anyone?!)

We got 2 dungeons, which is not the world, but the R50 alone will keep a lot of people busy who actually have the breath to do them, cause they are far from being faceroll.

Other then that people still got the Main Storyline, the class quests and now encampments in the outskirts.

The game is shaping up really nice and I'm really looking forward to the next patches.

I could give a shit about all the people complaining about some changes in 1.18 It IS the first patch that finally did something for FFXIV and its the first step to a way brighter future.
