Really nice trailer. I'm so hyped for the MSQ this time!
Woah, it looks so good. The enviroments are amazing and the story cutscenes are pretty good, I will always be annoyed that people still focus on ignore this game as a true Final Fantasy. I would love to play it, but I don't have neither the money neither the time to keep up with a MMO, but I played it at launch for a month and it was truly an amazing experience.
I do hope eventually you have the time to play it, since as a huge FF fan, FF14 has been an absolute treat.
While the original game's MSQ is really good, Heavensward's MSQ takes it to a whole 'nother level. It's definitely sad that so many people dismiss it as not being a real Final Fantasy game considering just how good the story actually is.
Bard getting some tasty buffs soon

The presentation of this game is just on a whole different level.
Looking forward to this.

Might re-sub to bang out most of the content it adds in an evening, but I expect Deep Dungeon to be a total flop like pretty much every other distraction they add, with a promise that it'll be better later.
When the subreddit is mostly excited about getting more clothes they can dress up their avatar with, there doesn't seem to be a loud enough voice from the community asking for substantial changes.
edit: just saw the fight phase practice being implemented, that's honestly the most game-changing addition, forget the rest.

I've pretty much given up on expecting huge surprises until the next expansion, and even then there's always the chance they'll just repeat 3.0 which was a repeat of 2.0 zzz.

I saw more mechanics in that snippet of Deep Dungeon than I saw in the entirety of Diadem.
I have a little faith.
Also, Vivi doing the Hildebrand Pose made me oh, oh so happy. I'm pretty stoked for this (even if "THE FINAL STEPS OF FAITH" is a stupid stupid stupid battle name)

At least Ozma won't be a total jerk like he is in IX!
Will be interesting to see how the war with the dragons ends.

I'm so far behind in the story and everything that I don't know if I want to jump back in. I didn't get too far in the Heavensward quests before stopping. 
Any news on when we're getting new classes? Hopefully Samurai. That would get me to jump back in again for sure. If they come out with the next expansion, that's probably 2017.

Getting new dungeons, raids, main story quests, trials and other modes for pvp/pve consistently every 3-4 months might get boring in that its easy to predict what you are getting every patch, (content type wise, not really how the content is going to play out) but its still miles away better than what other MMOs do, where you dont even know if this latest patch will be the last one and you are stuck running the same content for a year.

Fan Fest is in October, so I'm sure we'll hear about at least one new job then (along with next expansion details).

I'm wondering how long it's going to take Ozma to load in on the PS3 version. Maybe he's replaced by one of those missing asset placeholders.

Flexing black mage doll cute as hell. I'd love to dive back into FFXIV, but any time I pick up an MMO, I don't really have time for other games.
My brother and I have both agreed to dive back in whenever they get around to adding the Four Elemental Fiends though. They already added Calcabrina - squeenix plz

Completely new encounter titled "Final Steps of Faith"
Yeah, the stat/gear system needs a complete overhaul, even if it provided the illusion of choice, that would be an improvement over what we have now.
I wonder what soul-sucking activity the new Anima step will be, the last step was simply farming tomes and running some faceroll 24 man content, so this step will undoubtedly be something ridiculous, like running Diadem 400 times.
One other thing I noticed they made extra use of this trailer was they regularly had the camera zoomed out much further than what they currently allow in-game, which would be really nice if we had access to.

It's weird playing an MMO for the first time, I've been playing FFXIV since February and I still haven't touched Heavensward yet. There's just so much stuff!

When's the next patch that will add new jobs / change the level cap? I found myself bored of the grind for currency. Have they added free roaming notorious monsters for items? Are they still sticking with classes and jobs or are they getting rid of classes?

Dang, I'm gonna have a lot to go through if I decide to come back for 4.0, aren't I? I'm assuming I'll have missed five patches worth of story content by then (haven't played since completing 3.0).
I kind of wish I kept up, but the sane side of me definitely needed the break.

4.0. So spring of next year. Samurai is coming. Only hunts, which are dead and useless. They got rid of classes for Dark, Astro, and Machinist.

Maybe I'll get back into this, this summer. Last summer I played for a few months, but I got tired of waiting hours just to attempt to play the Primal/Dungeons, and also the grinds went soooo long just to get to another main story quest.
I'm too used to RPGs giving you enough experience in their main story, to continue to play their main story. The level gaps are huge.
I ended up spending most of my time waiting for a dungeon while completing the same damn 5 levemetes(levequests? I forget the name) over and over.
I kinda want a pay-to-level option so I can skip the grind, and save time, which is really sad coming from someone who never does that kind of thing. I'm excited for FFXI mobile, because maybe it'll be easier for me to stay caught up on levels.
However, overall I loved the game, music, world, and the GAF community. You guys were really nice to me.
My only issue, I guess, is will I ever be able to catch up to people and get to the new content/DLC? I still haven't finished the original storyline.

where did you stop in the story ?
Square made changes in experience gains for MSQ as well as rewards in the pre heavensward missions so you can cruise all the way into heavensward without any grind .
To those that don't have time for an MMO - don't do the MMO stuff. Just do the story and resub at each new story patch. (Or resub at every expansion and catch yourself up pretty quick). Seriously, one of the best FF's, my favorite since XII and IX. The story is superb and the world is amazingly well done.
You can treat it like a single player game. None of the main story stuff requires the typical MMO grind. That's all optional end game stuff.

I remember there are some MSQ that require you to do a dungeon, which has a min Ilvl requirement. Don't have the money nor time for hunt new gear.
That was why I didn't use completely the last free login period they had.
Look at my post above. You don't have to hunt gear to do dungeons
