I Think depends is the only answer I can give if I'm honest.
But I can say that a week ago i was meh, since the pre launch party info about updates and changes made since the beta was relsesd,
the into video and more images/info on items and mob I'm seriously looking forward to it again.
And I've got the Collectors Edition so I should be in game Wednesday to see what's changed if your thinking of pre ordering the normal edition macy
Its different just like AoC/War was so it will come down to how they handle it post launch more then anything else. its not a wow that's for sure.
But SE are really keeping a lot close to their chest it seems
(i know they did in FFXI with each expansion and content update so not a surprise).
Supposedly theirs only 20% of the content available in the beta, and from what i've read with people digging about in the .dat files or such that seems to fit to a point.
If you played FFXI then you'll have a feel for how it plays , but it is much more solo friendly this time around.
The Gfx are just amazing and will eat you PC if you max them.
I've pushed My Oc to hell now and and got soso fps with relatively hi gfx
(if i turn of DoF id have 40+ in crowds but it to nice a feature lol)
The armoury (class) system - Brilliant, no need for alts and a lot of skills cross over from one class to another,
meaning 2 players using an tank could have a totally different skill set to each other dependent on what else they have played with.
But both would be viable, meaning it should be a very interesting system to play around with.
Crafters - Really is an actual class, I'm soso at It.
Other are good some people just blow every item up.
It can be fun but also really infuriating.
Grouping needs balancing still imo.
Controles - their ok, but a controller or game pad
(think n52te or the like) really do help.
PvP - We know we get it but know bugger all about it.
Housing - We think we get it lol
Market wards.. - Ok think a bad AH with no search its the biggest issue still going atm, they are adding features for launch they say but what is another question
End Game - We don't really know much, its heavily story based though around leves and will be challenging.
But end game isn't just max Level
One part is faction leves which you can do ant different levels, say your a new class you could do a Level 10 faction leve with others.
Their is other end game but their still just hinting about it.
Anyway i'll stop ranting, best bet is to take a look at
http://www.ffxivcore.com/forum/4-notices-announcements/
and other sections, their obviously doomsayers and fanboys in a forum like that but i'l have a better idea in 5/6 days..
I'll do another rant then if people are intrested.
