IMO they should just leave the EN, JP, GE and FR as default game languages, but allow those interested to download (maybe adding language preferences when installing the game) so additional languages could be DLed separately at FFXIVconfig and added to the game. This could even include variations like having both american english and british english, being american english default but having british english as a separated option.

I'm sure that, even if SE lacks in localization team of these languages (like they do even from the current ones since they were looking for french translators some time ago), the community itself could help with this at start...even if, at start, just having the text translated here. Maybe adding at localization forum a part just for translation discussions of languages that aren't the 4 default languages of the game.

Still, this is somewhat hard to happen right now because by adding a new language they would need to add an entire support part oriented to this, like having support service to that language, GMs, etc. which would end as a snowball-like issue, not only regarding menpower but also regarding costs.
Hell, I'd do it for free. I love translating stuff/helping people out.
