If they add an in-game notification like the OP wants then it's only a matter of time until someone pops up saying that the text scrolled by too fast, or there was no confirmation checkbox to close the window and they didn't read it, etc. You can't force people to pay attention. At what point has SE fulfilled their due diligence?
An in-game event having an in-game notification seems more like a given or even the bare minimum (missing feature vs requested add-on). It would have made more sense for them to have started off with an in-game notification and have added email later to catch the people who were no longer subscribed. (To draw a loose comparison: it would be weird to get email notifications about selling marketboard items instead of getting them in-game.)

When my SO brought up the demolition at work with his coworkers, (non-FFXIV MMO players, mainly WOWers I think), they were flabbergasted that the only notification was outside of the game.
