I'm a fairly new player to FF14. Started around 3/4 weeks ago and just now entering Heavensward content. Out of the MMOs I've played (WoW, GW2, and ESO), I'd say FF14 is the most engrossing but I do recognize that there's ways to improve/execute better, especially in regards to trimming down fetch quest content; post-ARR was somewhat of a slog to get through. But it might just be current WoW with the dumpsterfire of BfA; but having an MMO this story-focused/cinematic-like is a breath of fresh air.
