No one is going to play ffxiv unless its taken down completely remade and remarketed as if the original 14 never happened.
See Ragnarok 2 for example , it came out was utter poop on a stick and they yanked it and have kept it hush hush since. there wasn't some big apology etc. then again R2 didnt have you spend 70 bucks on a preorder and then go HA HA GAME SUCKS for a few months.


if SE had been Smart , they could have rebuilt ffxi made alot of the changes they made to 14 , "new" combat system updated graphics new starting zones. Advanced the timeline made it a TRUE steam punk style XI with all the zones redone.
They could have scrapped and redesigned zones added the other areas as expansions ( and sold the game to people on ps2/pc as ffxi like you've never seen it). it would have been great, i mean they stole 1/2 the enemy models in the game from XI , they should have stolen it all used there new content to augment the old gave players who made the change over a big insentive, i.E a quest line that gave you the first 10-15 levels "free" at the end of it something like tracing back your ancestors travels that directly related to your XI character. * i could go on and on about things they could have done to make 14 good*
