i think its rather having nothing. FFXIV isnt unique, sadly it isnt. Its a copy of ffxi lacking 80% of what ffxi had without replacing it by other unique features. There is just nothing. IT HAS great potential but looking at the patches so far it might just turn easier every patch and get like all other mmos.

The only reason why im still checking on patches is... a tiny bit of hope, that it will not be changed into an average mmo, like there are many atm. I hope it works on strengthening the niche it was in instead of trying to appeal to the mass market. Not only it will become uninteresting for the ff players, but it won't be able to compete with all the other more polished mmos out there, which have tons more content. Even the best of the current wow copies have the problem with the huge competition... if ffxiv wants to fail, it goes the wow-copy way, the fail will be a 100% guarantee.
If it progresses and stays in the niche it is, it has a chance and might even turn out to be great in the future.
