FFXIV Version2 -- Two Likes & One Dislike

[Vespar]

Storylines are awesome
Eternal Bond System
Gearing up, melding and attempting to synth stuff for master craft books (The amount of gil spent attaining Master Crafter status w/ gear versus the return is grossly disproportionate)

Chocobo Dying
Fantasia/Character Name Changes
Grinding 2000 lights for Relic Weapon

Shiva Song! (Oblivion)
Cash Shop Items
Current low level DPS dungeon queue times

+Boss fights are generally entertaining and creative.
+Minions fulfill my need to collect cute nonsense.
-Cash shop on top of subscription. Already blocking off some good customization options.

+Updates regularly with content.
+Job wheel means I can be a master of all trades.
-Loss of a lot of beautiful fidelity and atmospheric tone in the ARR update.

+ARR added a lot of necessary variety to the overworld.
+Square has been making efforts to keep the game from just focusing on instanced content. Especially with last years patches.
-Various systems like Materia and Elements getting nerfed and simplified, removing what could have added a lot of depth and complexity to an otherwise by-the-books linear experience.

There is more, but I need sleep.
