    Isn't this why WoW, Rift and SWTOR are successful?

    They strike a decent BALANCE between accessibility, reward/effort, and fun. FFXI pretty much only does that in Abyssea.

    SWTOR is a solo game, it's nice, but just solo. Can't compare it to FFXI. There is no sense of achievement for instance when abtaining gear in swtor, except maybe level 50 but I didn't have the patience to go there. SE can take advice from swtor, but not for it's MMO though. For their non MMMO FF, sure, that would break the linearity of previous games. I did not play the other ones, but at least for swtor I'm sure they completely different concept of what an MMO is. On swtor you go on a planet do random quest solo, and still get gear along the way without having to team up (nearly). Occasionnally you can team up side quests(small number of player.. not 36), but really, it's not needed.
