I would, given we'd have enough combat content to keep it going... at least until something new comes out, but the current state of the MMO market doesn't fill me with hope.
I'd be sad to see such a well thought out game end- but, on the assumption it'll be to bring out a new, potentially even better Final Fantasy MMO? I'd be ok with that. I feel like it has to be a substantial enough reason to bring it out though, the gap between FFXI and FFXIV is absolutely staggering- I'd expect the same for what comes next.
The moment the last challenge is done, I am out. The story isnt as well-done as most singleplayer RPGs since its entirely linear, but its nicely written in that sense. So since presumably it would end on some patch, I would finish the story, kill the last Savage/Ultimate stuff that I am still interested in, and leave immediately after to better games.
Depends on how they handle things leading up towards the end of active development.
For FFXI, that team just... :/ I couldnt stay for that.
I would if they could manage to have a good eternal endgame system which rotates older content from all previous expansions (not just the latest one). Some kind of season system wherein each season requires different content/instances from the game for progression. I think this could be great fun for a long time, cause there will be a shit ton of instances and content by the time this game reaches maintenance mode.
Indefinitely, to complete various personal goals. I don't tend to rush through things so that might take me awhile. It's sad when your favorite game becomes a ghost town, though, so although I wouldn't be among the first to leave I also wouldn't stick around to the bitter end.
Depends... maybe to reach a few goals remaining. But if there is a new game that really worth it, probably not. This said... considering the current state of MMO's, I don't expect anything before 2023/2025. A lot of things can change.
If the game has a sandboxy element mode in it by then that allows for players to create content, like say......a new world that players create and run the world themselves and fight for power, yes I'd stay (Despite how lofty a goal that is)
But theme park mmos live and die on content updates.
I would.
This game is a really endearing love-letter to the FF franchise. How Yoshi and his team has weaved so many FF related classics and callbacks in XIV is a real treat, one I don't think we'll probably ever see again. The attention to detail and fun ways they have incorporated the franchise is something I think will last for a while, God willing!
The extent that I would play in maintenance mode would depend on if I could solo / duo all content though. For example, if they implemented something where I could maybe have npcs in the three wings of the 24mans , that would be ideal.
