I think I've settled firmly into the large camp of, "I like the feel of the game and am enjoying getting into it, but I think some basic design improvements are drastically needed." Mainly, as others have brought up, a way to manage action bars (and hopefully gear sets) for your different classes without having to concoct macros (and thus having to rework those macros every new job rank that gives you an ability). Right now it is a time-consuming annoyance. At higher levels, with more abilities (especially cross-class abilities that you would want to edit into multiple jobs) and more specialized gear sets, we could be talking three/four macros worth of frustration for every class you want to invest in. I would much rather spend that time exploring new abilities and gear, finding out how they work and how I can apply them to gameplay. The difficulty level is fine, and the involved setup system is fine... just give me a streamlined way to save those setups, please.
This is coming from the perspective of someone who typically invests roughly 50/50 in RP/gameplay. I will say I spent a little time yesterday running around in a part of 3 with friends and that was fun. I think it seems promising, and I look forward to making a stronger party and being able to explore further. We've occasionally stumbled across some gave or island full of scary but interesting monsters we don't stand a chance against yet.
