I am incredibly excited. Ugly animations aside, I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to do first.

I'll log in, watch the new CS explaining the new world (I'm sure we'll have one), then... I don't know. Maybe I'll put on my walking boots, call Kwefka over, and start exploring the new maps. Maybe I'll visit Fishermen's Bottom, see what new flies and lures are available. I could get myself a new rod and learn the new fishing mechanic, at the same time learning what fish are available and where. I could run to the Arcanists guild and start learning the new class. Maybe I'll rush off to the Limsa housing area and buy myself a beautiful piece of land right on the water. With the help of my friends I could get it set up into a cozy little place where my shell will enjoy hanging out.

And that's just in La Noscea!

The entire world will be different, with new quests and areas and fights and adventures to be had. Sure their marketing kinda sucks, but I know for a fact all of my friends and I will be there to see what's new. The launch of the game will have a lot to do, and there's more being worked on down the road (like musketeer!). Personally, I'm very very excited.
