More or less this, the devs are completely redoing the core of the game atm.

new battle system, new focus (leves are becoming a minor part of the game), new quest systems, company system, endgame, midgame, tutorial dungeons, new classes, new UI being developed, defensive battles, Mounts, transportation, new zone, material system, changed to the crafting system. And probally other things I forgot or the devs have not mentioned. All before the end of September if they stay on schedule. Devs also mentioned PvP and Jump but no definite time line on those yet.

We are not being charged until all the above is added most likely, so I would check it out. The current game is trully going to die soon, and be remade into something else.

If what they say is true what you see now will not be FFXIV in about 4 months.
