SE can't let a numbered FF game fail, that's why they're playing on the safe side and trying to make the game more up to modern standards. I have no doubt there will eventually be things totally unique to this game later on down the road. Right now they just have to actually get something running that more people will enjoy, which will in turn make the game profitable. Wada wouldn't stake re-creating a game if he didn't think it wouldn't end up turning a profit; that's what SE is in business for after all.

I think the mass exodus after the first month of the game proves no matter how much time Tanaka was given, this game was not going to succeed with his vision.
