Nostalgia, nostalgia, nostalgia. If they released FFXI with better graphics especially pre abyssea version like people want the game wouldn't break 500,000 subs and that would be a complete failure just like XIV subs.
Abyssea version would be received better than that.

I think I'm missing the over arching point of your post due to fallacies like Abysea brought in more customers to FFXI as opposed to losing them.

I personally don't want a carbon copy of FFXI but there were basic dynamics to the game that i feel should be included into FFXIV that made FFXI successful.

I'm not saying Abyssea brought in more customers. I'm saying abyssea made the game more accessible for all those that been left out of the endgame for years. It also made the game into something that is more appealing to todays MMO audience.

Furthermore, I dont know where this whole Abyssea made all the good hardcore endgamers quit. Most of the great XI players quit way beginning of WoTG.
