So, the Final Fantasy XI dev team?

[Enkidoh]

You do realize that a great majority of the FFXIV ARR team members were originally on the FFXI development team? Also there is a misconception that FFXI is shutting down, it's not - the only things that are ending is the storyline is being wound up and that there will be no new story updates done nor new expansions, and the antiquated PS2 and 360 versions are being terminated. SE will continue to support the game in other ways including bug fixes and the like. Most if not all the current FFXI team members will most likely stay on the FFXI team because they will still be needed.

while i love Soken music....it will be awesome if Naoshi Mizuta composed some songs here and there :3

Actually, he has - the Maelstrom theme Maelstrom Command, the O'ghomarro theme Quick as Silver, Hard as Stone and the Novv's Clutch theme Gluppity-schulp are all credited to Mizuta - I'm not sure if he's done any tracks for Heavensward though.
