In WoW they rush you towards the newer areas and nerf earlier content. In FFXIV they encourage you to play through everything. The end result is good I think, but boy his game feels BIG now.

The game feels better to play through if you treat it like a long-term journey where every expansion matters instead of just the latest expansion. When you consider previous expansions "old" and just want to get to the "shiny new" one, the game's way of story presentation will become a chore-fest that test your patience.
