The reviews for this game are horrible but I still want it
. Can anyone who has the game tell me how it is?

I don't have it, but everything I've seen via other websites suggest that holding off a few months is a good idea.
I'd never really recommend jumping into an MMO this soon after release, to be honest.

. That being said everything I've read points to waiting too. What I'm asking is how fun is it now

short answer: No
long answer: hell no
very long answer: Ok, for real. I love playing MMOs when they're new, in fact, it's the only way I play MMOs, from the beginning, so that is not the problem with FFXIV. The problem is that it's really a step backwards in usability. The main problem is that the interface was primarily designed for the PS3, not the PC. Things just don't work the way you expect them to. Hell, you can't even type a message longer than 40 characters or so, because it'd look bad in a standard definition TV. This is the type of design decisions that tells you the PC is not the platform for this game.
Totally not recommended. Now or in 3 months.
