I don't think FFXIV should go back to the way it was, but I think it's too meaningless now.
You've made a surprisingly good post. I'm almost shocked

The reason you could be feeling this 'meaningless' is because the game is in the middle of it's reworking by the devs. The devs can't just make the game go from 'Tanaka mode' > 'Yoshi mode', it takes a lot of time and patches to rebuild a 15gb online game that's already live.

Least to say in a few patches when it's all reworked, it'll be a lot better than the limbo state we're in at the moment, and yes, will possess much more potential to 'immerse' the player in the game.
