I am not happy concerning SE's current direction with this game.
I was okay with stuff like the fantasias and the jump/story skip potions but the increasing amount of items added to the Mog Station (mounts, glamour, emotes,...) and the premium fee for the app to access more advantages like retainers and more inventory space feels wrong, even if the EU datacenter and the NA datacenters relocation were made possible thanks to these extra bonuses.

I love FFXIV and is my favourite game, which is why I'm deeply worried about it's state. To be honest if more practices like these are more and more increased, I might quit until 5.0
Why bother having a subscription price if the game's starting to adopt f2p/p2w practices ?

Just my two cents about this topic.
