After 25 days I'm enjoying it. by WITTGENSTEIN 10/17/2015, 1:10pm PDT
FF14 does a lot of stuff right. It has no shortage of dungeons and trials to keep things from getting stale, and sort of like how World of Warcraft (eventually) added a lot of old fan favorites, FF14 decided to do that right out of the gate. There's no shortage of quests even after you hit 50. I mean, I get to fight Ultros, Typhon, and fucking Gilgamesh my favorite. It's got the triple triad minigame from FF8, the Chocobo Racing minigame from FF7, and flashy looking weapons and armor after you hit level 50. And you can cross-discipline into anything you're willing to put the time into, meaning if you're short a tank it takes about 60 seconds to swap over.

The Heavensward expansion being gated behind 2.5 was shocking and annoying at first for anyone who really wanted a Dark Knight or Machinist, but the more I think about it the more I feel like it was a slick idea. Sure, it ruins it for people who want to get to the end-game stuff right this instant but that's the point, to squeeze a couple more weeks participation out of them and get at least one months' subscription out of them before they fuck off after beating Alexander on EX or whatever is the current raid.
