Why should I play FFXIV?

[Alhanelem]

I know FFXIV has been going through a lot of changes since it's original launch, and since then a lot of other MMOs have emerged onto the market. My question is simple. Why should I play FFXIV as opposed to GW2, WoW, TSW, TERA, SWTOR, any other MMO really?

Answer: You should play because you're a fan of final fantasy and not a fan of those other games. That's the only real reason to play any single one of them, other than 'You should play because you think it will be fun. "

The main difference between any of these MMOs is their theme and style. You should play the one that fits you the best. If you have to ask why you should play, then you probably shouldn't.
