FFXIV can't be around for 10 years but FFXI managed to do exactly that with the PS2.
WoW's visuals improved with every expansion starting from Cataclysm (well before then, but that was when the most major graphic improvements were made, if you compare WoD's visuals to something from Vanilla to WoD you'll notice a major difference. I'm not just talking about their races, but monsters, environments, raids, dungeons, the entire picture. Races are but a small part in that overall. There's a hugely apparent difference in graphics when traveling from old content to new content, which can be slightly jarring but it works due to its cartoony visuals.

FFXI lasted 10 years sure (losing a lot of its player base as it aged as things go) but by the time the PS3 was released and actually sold a decent amount (it had a very rough start if you can't remember) FFXI was 5-6 years old. This isn't the case with FFXIV as I stated in my posted, but you seemed to ignore that so I expect you to do the same again here.
