I see XIV at a stand still.

It will get a few new people now and then, maybe returning players, and it will also lose just as much players also.

I know XIV will suffer when new games get released, no matter time it is, but the effects will be so small because the population is small to begin with lol. Its like a few people going home early at a party or a few strangers turn up, do you really notice it? Does it even make a difference? Party still sucks.
