FFXI was my first MMORPG and i tell you it wouldnt bother me in the slightest if FFXIV ended up being a total ripoff of ffxi with major improvement on graphics, i hope it doesnt end however as servers close and get consolodated its just like stores, they close and the pool gets smaller and smaller and eventually its gonna end. But i hope they at least wait until a decent ffxiv version is around so we can have something to move to.
