Combat system is beyond saving.

I wonder what happened to 1.0 when development of the game was beyond redemption?

Maybe we need another Dalamud-levels of calamity... though who will be the next Lousioix to fulfill the role?? Alphinaud, perhaps?

Unlikely to ever happen.
1.0 was basically an unproven entry into the FF franchise and the MMO market which is why it's terrible design resulted in such a dramatic drop in players.
XIV now however is an established title with a reputation for being actually very good, even if we disagree with that general perception nowadays.
