I love XI but I like XIV too. They're very different flavors why can't one enjoy and appreciate both?

I would love to see something so old school someday again. But XIV has completely other kind of things going for it and I don't think it could be bended to XI without destroying the good essence of this game. In time more games will come don't worry. If the casual aspects aren't your thing you can be sure that same trends come and go. Another XI will surely be built when the current trend goes away.
