Should FF14's budget be made, released, and killed off so 5yrs down the road some KRMMO perfect the system?

FF14 is not a science project, it's a product. Unless a product sells, it's just people throwing money, even if it's a "greater good" it's not going to be them.

There's a right way to innovate and there's a wrong way. If you want to bet you life on a lottery to prove your son can see into the future...go ahead.

FF14 is going back to dull basics, but it should have been that with the start. Start with basics then add flavor and then maybe-just-maybe you can get a brilliant out of it if you're lucky.
there is a number of business models that gamble on making the next thing, and they are often very successful. Bell south phones, televisions, railroads airplanes, plastics,. The business model you are speaking of is only one business models. Many rich families have built their fortunes on innovation, and continue to to this day. 8 track is gone, walkmans are gone, discmans are about to be gone, vinyl is gone. Innovation is a strong part of business, and you never want to be at the end of the curve using old dated mechanics. that is a sure fire way to fail especially in the tech business world.
