Serious question: When does this game get good?

[Heavell]

IMHO, the game can be said to be fully ready in approx 2-3 years after release. When the worlds getting bigger, tons worth of content to play.

Right now dev.team less focusing on end-game content, many people after clearing coil they don't know what to do in-game until coil reset and this will continue for another 5 months or maybe after 2.4 when the next coil release, people will still always be like this.
Some people like challenging content, like pvp but sadly current battle system for pvp is dull like cat chasing rat games. You can see this video for example.

like XI's online the game wasn't meant to be ready since the first launch until their 3rd expansion the game was began getting really good and enjoyable. Playing other game or wait until this game ready. Your choice

I don't think you're gonna like it if you didn't from the start. I enjoyed it the second I started playing and I have spent countless of hours just walking around exploring and taking screenshots. the graphics are amazing and I also love all the cute vanity gear.
I find dungeons and that kinda stuff just so so. There's nothing hard really except for the really hardest dungeons. But then you need a group of 8 players that know what theyre doing to do them. As I dont really have time for that I just enjoy the other parts of the game.

after reading all these posts, now I'm looking forward to the Lv. 50 (end game) parts even more^^

(hope they keep bringing expansions.., and not let this game die out anytime soon, just because FFXV is comming..)

Everyone is telling you lvl 50 and I'm going to be the devils advocate here. I love this game, every part of it. I'm objective enough to know, however, that if you don't like the game from 1-49, you're not going to like it at 50. FFXIV just may not be the one for you.

I fully agree with this comment LV50 is not as fun as everyone one makes it sound like in this thread it get's boring really fast.

I like all of it, but I would also say that it is a bit boring before you can start doing dungeons at level 15. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to get to 15 quickly now since they buffed XP from levequests and Guildhests (which unlock at level 10).

[Hysterior]

game starts at 50... yeah...

Unfortunately, SE have nerfed a lot of the earlier content to make it easier, combined with Duty Finder Roulette putting over powered characters into the instance the early dungeons are probably very boring for everyone.

This completely. The 1-50 level grind is probably not feeling fun for many newer players because they get rolled into a dungeon with 4 rouletted high level players who faceroll the dungeon/trial. It's somewhat sad that newer players cant get the same experience those who played at launch had with fumbling through dungeons with 3 other new players with no cross class skills or level synced gear. The Primals especially were a challenge. Titan was always an OMFG moment for people. Stone Vigil, Dzamael Darkhold, Aurum Vale...were all huge roadblocks. Now even Praetorium is a faceroll with one or two new 50s and 6 overgeared vets.

Level 50 is when the real fun begins, though, I enjoyed the lower level dungeons, especially Haukke Manor and if you don't feel part of the community, that's your own fault, really. No one can force you to make friends/join an FC.

For every "fun" moment you have at level fifty you have twenty doing repetitive dailies, speed running the same dungeon over and over for tomes, .....

yeap and that's why it gets baring so quickly. If i was you i would start playing again once the first exp pack comes out.
