Is it good? Because the response is pretty negative on other forums I checked.
I hope some of the issues present are resolved by its release!!!!

At least it's pretty.

Yeah, It looks good, though with the high system requirements I expected something better. And it judders on my PC, even though I have fairly strong system:
Geforce 275 GTX, Athon 64 X2 6000plus, 4GB DDR3-RAM.
The interface is gruesome. It's confusing, clunky and nonpractical, up to the point where it's nearly unuseable. After nearly 3 hours, I still don't really know this game works. One of the biggest flaws is absence of tutorials. And FFXIV is not even my first MMORPG.
The quests are also repetitive. Kill 3 monsters, collect 5 items, repeat process A and B.
The cities look beatiful, though. Sadly, you can't say that about the other areas. If you like plain, empty deserts, you might feel good here. I do not.
Even the interaction with other players is flawed. Trading is complicated like hell.
In conclusion, you get mediocre graphics for the system requirements, horrible interface, unasthetic landscapes, repetitive gameplay and add that with the monthly price and 15 hours/day restriction, and you got yourself an awful MMORPG.
I can not understand how incredibly bad this game could get after WoW and even their own game, FF XI, show how MMORPGs are made. I would go as far as saying you get way better fre-to-play MMORPGs than this abomination. And I was actually looking forward to that game. It's sad that to face the truth after you hoped for so much more.
