I'd rather not see FFXIV abandoned in favour of a different project. To me, it makes more sense to upgrade it bit by bit and fix some of the limitations that are currently holding it back. I'm not against a more action focused MMO and if it had stuff I enjoyed, I'd play it...but the development team are adamant that FFXIV will have staying power over the coming years. I'd like for that to be proven with more than just words.
