Even shutting down the servers to do this I think would make a lot of players who are dedicated players happy campers. Yes, I know shutting down the servers would make some people go nuts, but in the long wrong it will make the game more pleasant.
Because XIV was a massive cost, and if they let it just die they'd have wasted untold money. Fixing it at least restored a little of the players trust in the company.

They have no need to do the same for FFXI especially with the restrictions of a 10 year old project.

Besides, the way the XIV story is going it's basically going to end up FFXI V2.0 anyway.
