Do we want another 10 years of FF14 on this engine?

Could be interesting to see what they'd do with a blank slate. No story baggage from rushing to recover from a failed first try.

If you're referring to 1.0, the main "failure" there wasn't the story, but rather the UI, graphics, gameplay aspects. The story itself was actually one of the few highlights and was used as a positive jumping-off point for ARR. The big fixes were in the gameplay department.

And then they rushed to get ARR up and running, dropping a lot of 1.0's plot and reworking or retconning more, and ended up with a mess. There's a lot of baggage and half-addressed plot threads still dangling from it to this day.

"oh no, looks like FFXIV was a dud all along, whatever shall we do"

So whats your point? Most of the loose-ends and lore transition (the big ones at least) have been acknowledged and addressed in 2.0 and beyond.

It sounds like that's what they're going for with 7.0 and beyond.

I'll be surprised if they actually go with that idea. It makes the most logical sense but something tells me they'll just continue where EW left off anyway :v

Can we get a Rhapsodies of Vanadiel (or as I like to call it, Rhapsodies of Eorzea) style of content from FFXI ,just for the new players to quickly catch up to 2.0-70 please?
