Finally having a new expansion... after 5 1/2 freaking years!
New NPCs (including mithras)
I'm not allowed to get excited... Not sure I can afford it right now. Even after paying for 3 copies, the download is gonna be like 2-3 gigs? I only have usb mobile broadband and it costs $50 for 3gigs (expires after 30 days)... So if I get 2 ultimate editions and one regular, I'm looking at like $150.
Rune Fencer looks like a ton of fun, whether or not it's useful will be determined. New story and missions for sure, I've always liked the XI storylines even if they were a tad on the silly side at times (and Odin pretty much does everything). The new events seem to be party sized and I like that a lot. I really enjoyed assaults when they were relevant and having more events of that nature is always enjoyable.
Sure are a lot of negative nancies in here ~_~
Storyline and exploration for me. Even though I get the feeling it'll be some cookie cutter story, it'll be a nice change of pace than the current grind.
New Expansions always gets me excited. New jobs and new lands are the main interest for me.
Storyline and Equipment. Plus new areas to explore
Is there a single place I can go to see all the stuff coming in the update/expansion? I haven't really had time to even see what the update is bringing besides a couple new jobs..
Exploring new areas, Rune Fencer, storyline, Reives, and new expansion!
I'm actually hoping some of the things will make you form groups. Content changes have killed linkshells over the past couple years.
Official site is probably your best bet.

They've discussed everything individually in more detail than you'll find there, but that's probably the best place to get an overview.
a black person in Vana'diel. (too far? consider it NPC choice then lol)
amongst that list of "so much shit to do":
Meebles is a 10 minute event once per day, most AF2+2 augs are pretty worthless, AF3 armor is pretty easy and should be complete if you have 2 emps, NNI will last as long as you arent 15/15 (and most people are 15/15), Legion is a pretty major niche event considering most LS's died after abyssea and unless you're riding 3-4 sch stun bots or have perfect hybrid PDT set you arent going far, Limbus/Ein v2 are hardly considered "something to do" (throw in the new synth mats and add in the new abjus), VW is always going to be VW (despite Camate's claims of not wanting to dangle a carrot on a string infront of us, thats exactly what VW is).Meebles, R/M/E weapons, AF2 trials, AF3 armor, Einherjar2, NNI, Salvage2, Limbus2, VW, Legion.. I mean, christ
The fact that AF2 trials and AF3 armor had to be forced into the list is pretty bad.
I'd like to see SE introduce more sources for the Legion and Prov specific materials. I'd also like to see non-R/M/E options that get closer to them in terms of DPS.
Beyond that, what I primarily want to see are fundamental game adjustments that fix some of my perceived FFXI design problems while being provided with enough content to test them out and enjoy them.
I would love SE to bring back windowed HNM's
