Pros/Cons of this game and how to keep the game going

[Redsock]

I am loving FF 14, but not 100% set on it as my MMO of choice. I NEED something to replace WoW after the horrible last 2 expansions. Here are my qualifications so people dont take this as a "QQ" post. WoW for 7 years. SWTOR for 6 months. Rift for over a year. EQ on and off. Less than a month of in multiple other MMO's. I also played FF 7, 8, 10, 10-2, 11, 12 and the 4 that were for original gameboy. I am also a computer programmer so I understand the PoV of players and dev's.

I will start with the pros cause good news is always better

Pros:
-Great graphics.
-Good/interesting fight mechanics.
-I can be everything on one character which is amazing for "altoholics" like me.
-Fighting chocobo with changeable armor.
-LOVE the hunting log.
-The amount of Tomestones dropped vs the cost of the items seems about right at lvl 50.
-Soundtrack, especially in the fights (Garuda is my fav!).
-Multiple ways to travel.
-Achievement (I am a totally achievement whore).
-Retainer, a new twist on the Auction House/Bank.
-It actually takes skill to lvl crafting and gathering skills.

cons in reply... stupid character limit lol.
