I think FF14 will face the same fate as WoW and GW2 and continue to see a decline in the amount of bang for your buck you get each expac. WotLK gave you 10 zones, 5 raids, a new profession, a new class, etc. Fast forward 15 years later and you only get four zones per expac now and not even starting zones anymore, only 3 raids, etc. Contrast GW2's first expac Heart of Thorns with End of Dragons or Secrets of the Obscure, again a massive drop in the amount of content and features. This is a commercial product, and corporations are not interested in giving people the most satisfying experience possible. They are interested in shipping a minimum viable product and calling it the day. We have already seen this happening with FF14 with ShB only having two endgame grind zones as opposed to Eureka's 4, no deep dungeon, etc. Like WoW and GW2 the game content will decline and the corporation will not be motivated to do a reversal, they might give some cheap lip service but they will not back it up with their words, and the situation will continue until they decide to pull the plug.
