Dear OP, FFXIV is not FFXI. FFXIV is not FFXI-2. FFXIV is not FFXI: Vana'diel Reborn. FFXIV has absolutely nothing to do with FFXI, aside from a few crossover events and the fact that it is made by the same company. I don't want another FFXI: Rehashed. I want FFXIV to be FFXIV. The majority of these types of threads are purely nostalgia "what I liked about XI" threads. People completely ignore all the tedious nonsense from FFXI. The hours of waiting to gather parties and do content. The fact that nobody repeated story mission fights once they "got theirs". The lockouts on content (waiting days to redo dynamis/limbus). The prejudices of the job system. Hours, days, weeks, months, YEARS of grinding for a +1 stat on a situational piece of gear that is used once to gain TP faster. FFXI is only different now, because they changed so much. In fact, they began putting elements from FFXIV into FFXI to help FFXI progress faster. The Trust system made solo play possible. The added home points acted as an aetheryte system. They started adding daily quests for more casual play.

FFXI was a good game, for it's time. When people had time. If you are excited to relive those moments, wait for FFXI: Mobile, or restart FFXI.

Edit: Should also add, that you would only play a game like FFXI for another decade, because it takes a decade to accomplish anything on FFXI.
