It’s disappointing, I guess. I keep hearing that ff14 is the best mmorpg of all time, and there’s a lot I like about it and could like about it…but the idea of playing an MMORPG and paying a monthly fee just for a story (that I was already not very interested in) is not appealing to me at all. I’m not sure why it’s an MMORPG with a monthly fee in the first place if the main reason to play is just to watch the story.
The story is the main draw, and worth experiencing IMO, even if it takes forever to get going, but it's still a good MMO. I don't know if I'd call it "the best of all time," but I've enjoyed my time with it. The reason I keep my sub between story patches is because I like hanging out with friends and being in the world, which is what an MMO is all about.
I don't really have the time or interest for the super challenging content it offers, but I level jobs, I do treasure hunts with friends, I do Deep Dungeon, I obtain cool outfits, and I hang out at a friend's RP bar.
Like any game, though, it's not for everyone. If you like tab-target MMOs, WoW has better combat I think.
