Thanks everyone for replying
After moving away from WoW and getting older I was trying to decide to come back and give it a real chance or jump on the FF14 bandwagon.
As I am getting older, responsibilities and more casual I think this game is the best choice for me, as I really appreciate the living world, the graphics are stunning (considering) and the flatter gear progression.
Plus the Combat mechanics in this game are amazing, to think its been out for over 10 years and i never appreciated it this much, I feel more responsive and agile.
