Considering that on my first attempt at playing I quit around the wine quest and now I have over 6k hours... yeah

Particularly I think Voice acting more of ARR would improve the experience a lot

That or as others have mentioned, giving a new starting point for new players. Even if the starting point just allowed you to have dungeons and trials unlocked up to X level it would be a massive improvement for the gameplay driven players that like the story as a side-thing
