I am looking forward to it but I am extremely worried about it as well. A lot of good things, alot of things which have failed for countless mmos before.

Even if this game is great in ARR if there is not enough interest to get a solid player based to last another 5-6yrs at least I will probally have to go else where. No reason to invest time into a game which will die... the regional divide is going to make this much worse.. SE going to need 150-300k NA players alone to make the game not look dead in the region, I highly doubt that will happen.

Whether or I not I continue completely depends on the playerbase honestly... which is not good.

SE has alot of work ahead of them, honestly I do not think they know how the majority of NA gamers see SE and the FF franchise as a joke now. They are no longer viewed as the flagship of the RPG series. SE needs to drop 10s of millions into advertising, I do not see it happening at all.
