Worth it for an old Player from 2014 coming back?

Hello everyone, I started playing back in June 25 2014, and took a year off since then after putting in 273 hours. I maxed out my White Mage, and got a lot of the other classes up pretty high. I also completed the story line fully and did some end game content. Sadly I cannot remember much of the story at all, or the characters.
Is there a video, or some article to get a recap as I'm thinking about getting the expansion but I don't want to be completely lost.
Have older players come back to the new content and found the investment well worth it?

I found the original story to be kind of average to meh, but after that the story starts to get better and better as you go along.
The game itself is still the same basics though. Get your weekly cap of tomestones, do some extreme primals. Hardcore raiding is now Savage modes of the story raids so the casuals can experience the story of the raid dungeons.
Also, you won't be able to do much with the expansion until you complete all the story stuff from the original. From 2.0 through 2.55 took me around 20 hours, so you'll have to do all that before even setting foot in the new Heavensward zones.
I know why I quit last time, maxed out the story and was at end game. The grinding per week for items, and only being allowed one drop every 7 days was awful to me. Hopefully my wife will make an account and we can do some co-op. This was the first MMO that I could get to max level without being bored during the leveling phase. I should level up some other classes too!
I remember I couldn't even make it past lv20 in WoW. Other than Ultima Online, I never enjoyed the online rpg genre as much as single player, or co-op. FF 14 is

Since I left FF14, I was done everything on A Realm Reborn, and finished A Realm Awoken this weekend.
I need to get some crafting up, because I'm so broke 50,000 GIL, would like nicer gear to combat the new content with.
My complaint, and the main reason I quite was the Global Cooldown. It's way too long and the combat felt clunky to me because of this. I played a paladin, so I can't vouch for the other classes.
Also worth to note is that the console versions of the game are very well done. Though I do have PC licenses for the game, I did buy it again for PS3 and haven't touched the PC version of the game at all since I started playing again...
I had to do the same thing when I came back last year before the expac.
It was a very daunting task, as it contains a lot of mandatory Group Dungeons in it, but I must say that I enjoyed it, as the story got better and better and kind of addictive.
The Heavens Ward zones are really Nice. I have taken a break for a while now, but planning to go back again for a bit. It's a Nice game.
i dont know , never bothered me 2.5s is a lot but there are tons of Off Global cooldown skills to weave...
Edit: I finished reading through that thread and it seems that q times is a JP servers issue. I am 100% positive I picked an NA server.
