It also can't be fairly done without dropping console support.

I said it before in another thread, but not putting anything into improving FFXIV will not automatically suddenly mean that a revamp for FFXI would happen. The funds and manpower would most likely be invested in a new or other project, such as one of the other MMOs they're also developing.
Actually I think it makes absolutely ZERO, NO sense at all to try and support and rebuild a failed game(FF XIV) versus building upon or rebuilding one that is making you a ton of money. FF XIV is fail, you need to get over it Square Enix needs to get over it. It will be a miracle if they can save that game.
