Is it time to Sunset FFXIV?

I feel like the game (Devs, writers, etc..) has painted itself into a corner. Maybe it's time to focus on the next MMO and start over. This one isn't fun anymore and I don't know how we can recover from it. They whole formula that it was built upon is stagnant. The game shouldn't drop to a lull in things to do and play time just in a few months after the release of a major expansion.. the brand is suffering.

This reminds me of a lot of WOW players screaming for WOW 2. But if the devs of said "WOW 2" would be same, as previous one... would it be trully better?

I mean technically FFXIV is already their second MMO or "WoW2" and it's vastly different and no where near the same as the first since they just went in completely different directions. The first was too hard (for some, for most is was amazing), the second is too soft, maybe the third could be just right. In fact the only reason we got our "WoW2" is because FFXI is so embedded in playonline they couldn't update it graphically ot give us a new UI and what not. They debated but decided they literally needed to start from scratch. More of the same though it is not. In fact in as many ways as XIV was an upgrade it was also a downgrade.

That being said I don't think we are at the point that needs to happen....yet. And SE in 2024 is not the same as SE in 2001. I just don't think they got it in them anymore since they can't even get their single player FF games, or really any games looking at their track recond lately, right these days.

That would mean replacing Yoshida and the rest of the lead, you know that? You haven't disproven anything I said.
If current leadership would want to change the game, they can. They don't need to make new MMO.
