Addressing how you said these small changes are taking forever: my guess is (and I'm not trying to sound like sarcastic or something) they are still recovering from tsunami and, let's be honest, this project probably has pretty low funding. SE is still making other games and FF14 is probably their adopted child they regretfully acknowledge but neglect constantly =/.

SWTOR and GW2.....two titans of games wouldn't you say? Hopefully 1.19 has a shorter gap in between 1.18 =(.
Ya all true but the majority of FF fans left a long time ago, 13 and 14 created a sour taste in their mouths. In the long run if the game stays alive which I'm sure it will, it will eventually get to the point of being a full fledged mmo with alot of great things to appreciate... problem is it may be a long time or even too late :S... 1.19 should be shorter, think materia system was only new item then it was just auto attack tweaks and hate/agro management plus a few other small things.

As long as nothings pushed back in 1.18 I'll personally log on(Logged on with 3 months off recently and played a quick behest, honestly love the game still and its potential , just sucks there's nothing to do atm or nothing to work towards >< ), but as some people have said... quest hubs... haven't heard anything in awhile about em >.< Gonna suck too if they're released with nothin rly in em cept... fancy looks lol And hearing jobs won't be out till 1.20 or later is dissapointing... so many great games coming out in fall/winter and early next year, hard to be excited that much anymore 8/
