Dunno about 1.0 but the animations looked kinda decent, FF14 needs some of that.

Said it already but I do hope something like FFXVI is to what FFXII was for FFXIV. Given FFXIV parallels WoW, not carbon just family like, then FFXVI+ may parallel an ESO / GW2, may even hint at the Arc and Diablo like games, again not carbon. Heavy ARPG.

I don't recommend changing FFXIV so much, it would really bump a lot of players who like that fundamental and just seems like a misuse of resources. However, a new game- I think it would be fun and allows FFXIV to continue to be profitable and available. For those who want new or want more action they also get something, and if they want to return they can. It allows two sources of income. Also the difference makes them complement each other rather than consume, they wouldn't conflict much.

So, yes, but not FFXIV- imo

This is an interesting observation, altho I am terrified of the idea that the ARPG virus is infecting MMORPG's even more, one of the last strongholds of more classic gameplay.

1.0 Animations were lovely! The grounding that the run / walk animation provided was substantial, took many years before I was not constantly thinking of it when running around FFXIV 2.0. Didn't like the animation lock so much but I thought they were going to attempt to do animation blending, they did.. just not to the level I was dreaming lol.

ARPG VIRUS, ARPG VIRUS, HUZZAH!! lol but jk.. I think there is room for both, this is one of the primary reasons in my post you quoted to preserving FFXIV (and that means continuing it as well). Take over all the live service genres .

I would love some well-polished snapped-distance animation blending. Gliding Venomous Bite, Dragon Kick, etc., can look pretty ridiculous.
