Now, I get that some of this comes with the themepark territory, and I'm not explicitly against that style of MMORPG, but this seems even worse than others. However, I'm still drawn to the game because the world is beautifully crafted and detailed, I love Final Fantasy, it's a good casual game. I read a lot about endgame stuff and some of it seems like a lot of fun. I would like to get to a point where I can run endgame dungeons, do PVP, craft a lot, do gold saucer stuff etc. But then when a new expansion comes out it's back to the same stuff listed above.

I don't know, is there something I'm missing? Do I need to be higher level? Will I start to feel like I'm having a unique play experience later on?

Wow, the character limit is horrible.
