Limit break (that meteor thing) was an amazing and surprising addition in my opinion. Because I feel that everything else, like mounts jumping, jump, fluid UI, lush environment, is what FFXIV should have had in the first place. Actually, it's what all MMOs should have when they are released, and it's such a standard.

Showing the limit break is great because it shows FFXIV ARR differentiating itself from the standard, and going above and beyond what was expected.

All the laypeople out there who haven't been following FFXIV will ask this question "What makes it different than other MMO? Showing fluid UI and jumping is not a new and earth shattering idea".
