Anyone who comes from WoW when it comes times for an expansion announcement for some it is actually not a happy experience but a sense of fear and dread because I have heard this phrase before "oh god what new system do we have to grind".
Island Sanctuaries were announced and they are not locked behind you having to grind renown with your faction you picked. Given Squares history I do not expect them to be some time gated garbage where we can only do one new thing every other week.
Flight was not changed to require max reputation with every single new Beast tribe, plus multiple achievements and also arbitrary 1+ year wait times.
The new class Sage was announced and knowing Square all they said was you needed one character above 70 already. Now I gave Blizzard hell for this BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT it was because they also required you to have max rep in a faction to unlock them. Also in FF14 having level 70 on one character means you do not need to start another alt just to get the character you wanted in the first place.
Data center travels. This is basically free server transfers. Your characters home is still whatever you originally picked and there are rules to prevent RMT but please realize what we are being given for free.
These are just a few things I could think of and why Square Enix will continue to have my sub for the foreseeable future....also get rid of mettle loss in Bozdja (Delubrum and Castrum) if you are reading this.
