This game doesn't get good. It is good.

You're probably not going to like it if you didn't like it so far.

Story in the beginning is slow, but picks up on pace after level 15. The low level duties are challenging from around level 32 on, if you confront it with people who are undergeared or still learning how to play their jobs. The endgame presents you with more unusual mechanics in fights, and a lot of things you can opt to grind on. You will prefer to become part of a LS or FC for endgame content, which is where a sense of community comes in. Playing through the story for the first time is more like a solo game.

But basically, if at over level 40, you're not motivated to get to the endgame, looking around for an LS or FC for people to socialize with, not enjoying the story or graphics or sound or overall feel of gameplay, then this game might not be down your alley.
