Depends which era you are referencing.

I would definitely say it's worth coming back now, decent new content is being pushed out every month and population is steady enough. Imo the game hasn't been this good in years.

I would say it really is worth coming back, lower populations depending on the server (Some still have ~1k people at lowest)
Trust NPCs make a great addition to the game bringing back old style FF feelings, the party of 4 with some key NPCs and some random encountered friends.
If you get into an end game shell they can help catch you up on gear rather quickly, if not Records of Eminence gear is level 117 its a great catchup(although people like to criticize it for being the new "perle/pink" when its one of the highest level armor sets you can get)
You can also use the Records of Eminence Quest to buy Rem's Tale Chapters and reforge your old dusty Artifact and Relic Armor!

If you haven't played in 2 years, you don't know how the changes have effected the game.

I was commenting on the population, it's not as high as it used to be. Learn to read before replying.

Ops I read one quote while scrolling up and must have thought it was yours. My mistake, thats what i get for trying to multitask 2 things at once.
Edit: 2* Cant type very well either ~.~

I'd say now is a good time to come back if you've been away 8 months. Our server's population I think is about the same as it was 8 months ago (it was down for a while when FFXIV:ARR was released).

We oddly enough did a recap on everything that has changed since then on the latest episode of Pet Food Beta if you'd like to hear a dicussion on most of the stuff.
