I disagree with most of the people in this thread, it seems. I find the atmosphere lacking little. There are plenty of elements that I want to see adding, but I'm understanding that a lot is still in the works. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the RP, I'm enjoying the guildleves, and I'm enjoying not feeling a need to level up as fast as possible like I did in FFXI, like I felt in most other MMOs I've tried.
I'm just taking it at my own pace, enjoying the exploration and adventure as they come, looking forward to future additions to the world.
With that said, FFXIV does feel to me like it's designed for a much more casual take than most MMOs, and if you try to play it as a primary game, you probably would be disappointed. But playing both FFXI and FFXIV, they seem to complement each other well. When I want a major challenge I play XI, when I want to kick back and relax, I play XIV.
