One way or another. by the JP Fanfest next year (also with other sources), we'll probably have more of a confirmation about the way XIV is going to sail. People here say that they'll stick to their formula no matter what, but that's true until it's not, and 7.0 - with all it represents with new beginnings - will be a decisive point for veterans who are not quite satisfied with the state of the game right now.

Which is my case. If the formula repeats in 7.0, I'll probably just play for the part that I like, which is the story, and unsub until the last patch, so I can experience the rest of it without breaks.
