Honestly i see FFXI a game for play with your old friends a small group of 4 - 5 players.
Most of the shouts look only for GEO, BLU, SCH, BLM and COR the DD classes are taken before shout. Lets be realistic the game do not have content for support big allies anymore. FFXI its a 6 man game as FFXIV its a 8 man game, so server merge or going asura will not help in this case.
This game need some content for 12 players badly. I dont know a Einherjar lv145 Ver, an VW with LV145 mobs, Dynamis with LV145 bosses, Limbus with LV145 bosses, Ambuscade 12 man version with LV145 enemies, Zenith NMS lv145 +, the land Kings HNM LV145 etc. Then server mergers and moving asura will be worth
I dont want to be rude but
Solo + trusts you can solo nearly of 50% of the content
3 players + 3 trust can tackle 75% of the content
6 players can clear 90% content
So i dont see necessary merges until square add content for 12 man. Dont get me wrong i would love to see FFXI like at 2007s with 2000 players online all time, with a solid economy, with shouts happening for Kirin, VW, ZNM, Dynamis etc
