What is FFXIV lacking?

[viion]

I agree. To be honest they had it in mind but I think struggles with other things must have forethought this?

Anyway, the biggest thing is lacks for me is Something To Do. Imo right now there is nothing, I log in and there's nothing I can go do. (I'm not interested in making numbers bigger).

I actually see a lot of potential in the game. The only thing that upsets me is the lack of purpose and direction. There is the sense of foreboding and foreshadowing, like something dark and dangerous is on the horizon, but as of yet there seems to be no real idea as to what is going to happen or where the game is going. It feels like time is frozen. That's the only thing I find annoying.
