I haven't play FFXIV much yet, few weeks and max level 14.
I haven't play other MMO's except WoW, so I don't have much to compare.
Since I don't have playstation and such anymore, computer is my only platform, and I've been waiting long time to play Final Fantasy series again. I'm willing to give this game a chance but like others I'll probably quit paying for it if improvements aren't made soon. (preferably before 2011)

- The Good (positives)
- So pretty ^^ Not only the cutscenes but other craphic too.
- I like the amount of detailing in character and enviroment and monster designs.
- I love how I can learn everything with same character if I want to. (in WoW I had like 20 chars because I wanted to try everything :<
- I can wear all clothes! Means more RP clothes! Even if I'm too low rank for the cloths it still lets me equip them so I have pretty RP clothes! (if I someday have money to buy them)
- I love crafting and gathering, I love the challenge it has! (I always hated that in WoW it was just click of button and I could go to another room while my char makes all items...tooooo easy)
- Weather effects are nice! (more about this in "Bad")
- I can be catgirl!!!
- [/list:u]
- The Bad (negatives)
- Weather effects, yes, they are nice, BUT, I want areas to have more than 1-2. Why only Gridania area has thunder? Why can't it also have windy effect from Limsa, and why Limsa can't have thunder? I understand that Ul'dah mostly just has sandstorms. I would also like wind to affect my character more, game already has many wonderful emote animations, so why can't my character now and then hold her hat when its very windy? XD
- About those emotes. I love love the animations, BUT the translations to the emotes are mostly stupid, and my text emote shows up something very different than I wanted. Would also like option to disable the chat emote and only show the animation.
- Some things in the game are way too random. Like success rate in crafting. Sometimes I botch the synthesis before I even get 50%, and next try I might get 200-300 quality???
- TOO MANY PEOPLE gathering to crafting guilds and at crafting leve NPC's. Why can't guilds have like ROOM where you need to pay to get in to use facilities, and room is like "instance" making you invisible and normal people and RPers in guild area don't need to see all those OOC crafters and their chat spam.
Same goes for repair NPC, the area is always sooooo FULL of people, makes me maaaad!
- I want mailbooooooox! I need a way to transfer items from one of my own chars to other one of my own chars! Now I need to bother my friend to play courier! >_<
- I want to make more characters without PAYING extra for it, I want to RP many races! :<
Even if I only level one of them properly.
- I hate the fact that I need to make so many macros to speed things up. Atm I have macros to change gear/class, and to change chatmodes. Seriously I need faster way to see friendlist and leves that I am holding. (and alot more!!!!!!!)
- Lag....doesn't bother much unless I am trying to RP (or find RP) , not nice to walk into room and wait ages for people to load, then you might find out you are standing on another RPer and its rude XD
- Menu lag!!!!! takes toooooooooo long to open all menus and inventory and such, takes tooo long to buy and sell items!
- I need item sorting for my inventory, thank you!
- Locating people is too hard, I can't see them in minimap (only dots) and even if I hear them in chat (/say) I have hard time finding them. And all places don't have easy meeting place such as "I'm @ Chocobo". Also I want ability to invite to party without having to target them.
- [/list:u]
- The Not-So-Ugly (thoughts, hopes, neutrality, etc.)
- I've seen the games Bonus DVD interviews and some coming patch notes, so I still have hope the game will become more playable, but atm I'm REALLY happy it's free so far because it's way too expensive to pay if I can't enjoy it fully.
- ....zzz...too tired now to add..... z_z
