While the weakest entry into FFXIV (not counting 1.0, I'm talking strictly 2.0 or A Realm Reborn) as a whole, it's still a great introduction to the world of Eorzea. No matter your personal era of Final Fantasy, there's something familiar for you here, and a lot of the fluff has been reduced or outright removed. I'd say wait until the boss fight against Titan and from there, decide if you like it. Huge ups for crossplay on every single platform!
