absolutely I would.
Updated textures, and higher polygon character models and clothing, and updated character and clothing rigging, and such.
I would absolutely like the game to get a visual upgrade, especially if it's going to be around in active development/service for more than a couple more years.
A texture update would serve the game well, especially since enough emphasis was placed on looking pretty that people were semi-memeing about glamour being the real endgame.
If they are going to keep this one going for quite a bit more time, which they definitely could, then yes I think an engine (including things like memory issues, which you might associate with character creation or glamour log being limited), including graphic, update would be very welcomed.
Naturally my greed response is yes, all of the above lol. Everything, do it all I want it all. :P. But if they are supporting FFXIV soon like they did for FFXI as they move into their next MMORPG, say at the end of 6.5, then I'd not really be concerned or too stricken with desire in FFXIV (since, at least I hope/assume, they'd get it right and with new tech with the strong skills and knowledge they built from this one and if that then of course I'd be giving it a play).

Not before a models update. Character models are blocky AF, especially Lalafells; It's like seeing a remastered PS2 games for PS3, were everything remains the same but with "Higher res" textures
When i see aLalafellcharacter wearing a cute glam
Althought I did cringe a little bit when I saw the crystal's textures on the Exarch, I don't think they're going to do a huge texture upgrade now that the game is 6 years old.
That being said, I don't really mind it, even thought it would be a good thing, for sure.
Not important but just thought to share it's 7 if you count from ARR and 10 if you go from 1.0.
8 years from FFXI to FFXIV (1.0). Entirely unnecessary pattern to 'have to' repeat but is why hyper-very-theoretically that 6.0 might be the time FFXIV goes into cooldown (which doesn't even mean the end, since FFXI received support and expansions past FFXIV first touching down).
I could definitely see them rebuilding the game on a modern game engine to increase texture and address the "built-in lag" at the same time. We all got used to it / how to abuse it with telegraphed abilities but it would be a legit major improvement if the game is still around for many more years.
