The truth is we need a remastered XI or a follow up

In fact, as the gray gamer generation spawns I can only see the market for this expanding. Old people don't like change. Now personally I'm not that old, and play a few other titles, but due to my work and life I normally main one game, and beat the occasional blockbusters like Elden Ring or Zeldas.

It's almost guaranteed XIV will be similar to XI in about the next 10-20 years. Unless they somehow manage to keep it going without fault. (Maybe in 20 years they'll fix housing)

These players will get old, they'll want something comforting to play, so they'll grind roulette for tomestones while waiting for their morning meds. In the evenings, they can join the many nightclubs. lol

Also, I think some of the XI 'sweaty tryhards' are just players that play XI daily/weekly, and they mainly have their own bubble of friends and acquaintances playing it. Just like some old folks, they got their routine and their people. They're probably also used to people like Ardeth being dickholes to them or people shaming XI for some reason. I bet they've had to deal with plenty of XIV players. I've even read on some of their forums and Discords where XIV players for some reason are there, and don't even play XI, just casually shitting on it for no reason.

If it's anything like Ultima Online, which I know the community has been basically boiled down into it's purest form.. They're just folks that love a game.
