Things I love about the game:

1) Story - One of the best in the genre
2) Music - Again a masterpiece.
3) Character Design - Love the character design... Miqo'te Master Race btw
4) Extreme Amounts of Polish. - This game launches with almost no bugs and glitches. And the content is very high quality.
5) It is a Final Fantasy - Best Series in the video game world.

Things I hate


1) Complete lack of Guild Content. This game is the worst AAA mmo I have played in terms of guild related content.
2) Lack of General Endgame Progression Content available at one time.
3) Hamster Wheel Designed content. Same thing over and over and over and over.
4) Crafting not tied into endgame progression. basically mainly vanity or entree lvl.
5) Too much focus on vanity gear/items in general.
6) A cashshop in a P2P mmo... I am already paying for development with my sub and box cost... I do not think it is right to pay extra for stuff after the fact. It is like buying a hamburger then having to pay extra for the bun. Aka all those costumes in the cashshop... I ALREADY PAID FOR THEM WITH MY SUB.


All in all I feel FFXIV is a great mmo. It is just not one you can play as your only or main mmo. It is great side mmo to play and a mmo to play for a week or two when content patches come out.
