Was switching between MMOs for a while until a friend recommended FFXIV. Hesitant at first, I started with the 30 days included in the base game purchase for new service accounts at the time. Have played through the end of Endwalker, this game is definitely worth it.

PROs:
~ Amazing graphics
~ In-depth story that is fun to follow
~ Great Community
~ Developers and Company care about players
~ The Best Crafting system
~ Continuous Development and improvement
~ A lot of content to explore

Cons:
~ Starting out is a little slow (After the first two dungeons it gets better)
~ Post ARR is extremely long and slow (However the Award Winning Heavensward Expansion lies afterwards)
~Limited in-game Housing
