Why not talk about this in the FFXI forum? Why would you start a thread about another game in FFXIV's forums? You could at least talk about something constructive and not try to lure back the few remaining FFXIV players.

Just play the Xbox 360 version, that's the best this game is ever going to look.
PC looks better than 360 as long as you are using Windower. But you shouldn't do that since it's against ToS ;)
I don't see them making an HD update anytime soon, especially when they don't have the manpower to add new zones or even new abyssea zones! People were asking for those things on the FFXI forums and they said "no plans!" lol...
I say that out of speculation because at one point, people were asking for a new weapon type and they replied "no, because that would require the the same effort as making an entire new expansion". xD I read a lot of FFXI fansite news, listen to a few FFXI podcasts, and log in to play once in a blue moon, and it seems like most players really want new zones. They haven't gotten any new (and by new I mean completely unique and not reskinned) zones (that weren't already in the dats) since Wings of the Goddess. Now that they are rehashing old content, people still complain that it's not "new".
Pretty graphics or not, it's still forced party grinding. No, thanks.
What are you talking about? During the time I played (2004-2008) you couldn't wipe your nose without a party.
New MMOs give you choices. You can solo when you want to solo, and party when you want to party. What's wrong with that? Why does having the choice automatically translate into everyone will just solo? That isn't the case.
I love running dungeons in other MMOs with groups, raiding with my guild, then doing some solo rep grinding, or questing, or whatever I feel like. I have choices. I'm not forced to grind with a full party of six to get anywhere.
