A decent introduction to the game and the world of FFXIV, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't padded to high hell super unnecessarily to the point that pacing is thrown right out of the window. But overall, enjoyable enough

Update: most of the post-ARR patches are pretty boring (but some of the bosses are good), but the Crystal Tower questline and 2.5/2.55 alone make me think MUCH higher of ARR as a whole
