What does "generation shift" mean Fujito?

[Lortheron]

Probably means they will stop faking the care about FFXI and stop supporting any updates to it altogether again and just focus on FFXIV. They probably will put on huge incentives for FFXI current retail players to move into FFXIV already. They really can't wait to shut FFXI down ever since FFXIV was a success.

If players haven't started trashy FF14 now then only a very insignificant minority will go to it once 11 shuts down in a decade or so.

Its possible that this game could outlive 14. If they ever make a new MMO to replace it then XI will survive, XIV will die out and end, and those people will move to the new 14. This game has lasting appeal and 14 absolutely does not. Thus 14 is a financial success, but otherwise a failure.
