With the PS4 release, a lot of new players will join. And now with Challenge logs, pretty much everyone can get to end game between 2-4 months depending on play time. The majority of people playing love the game (that's why they are still playing) even if the forums fill with rage quit/com ain't threads. And even then, they complain because of certain content, not because the game itself is no good. Additional content will be rolling in as it has been, and I see FFXIV being still fun years from now. Try the month free (still have to pay for the game though) and definitely jump on YouTube and watch some videos.
