I missed FFXIV the first time around, so I tend to forget that this is, at least in theory, an iteration on the game.

Housing might be interesting, I agree. Though I can’t remember a housing implementation since EQ2 that interested me enough to play with it.

If WAR had run with no sub for months after launch then stopped for a total re-write before relaunching two years later, we might well all be playing it now.

Although I really like a lot about FFXIV I think it will be a 2-3 month wonder for all but the already-committed FF crowd, maybe not that if GW2 remains as ridiculously addictive. The wild card is housing, which is the first major update. If that’s as good as it could be then who knows?
