Thank you for the in-depth op-ed. From what you say, I don't think FF14 is going to be the game for me. I'm sick of the solo most of the game MMO's, easy mode, no danger, non-open world games.
So, I'm gonna take a pass. Maybe someday the client will be free, then I'll try it.
There is no such thing as open world in FFXIV. Game has small boxed in zones. Invisible walls, which won't even let you jump off a small rock formation or a ledge. No exploration no sense of adventure.
WOW was amazing back then with its zone design and size. Since then many MMOS have done quite impressive things with open world for example Vanguard and GW2.
WoW had a very average open world back then. AC1, DAoC, and Vanguard have amazing instanceless open worlds. WoW does not.
