Why? Because FF XI was super fun. It was completely different, it was way harder, way more time consuming - But it had charme. the combat was less "WoW-ish" but more turn based - Like FF12 Offline. Come to think of it, just talking about it makes me wanna get my old FF XI Account out again and giving my Samurai another ride ... Wonder if I can actually figure that account out with the horrible PlayOnline.
They finally got around to killing PlayOnline a little while ago.

XIV was also originally intended to be a next-gen remake of XI, complete with porting characters with progress intact, but there's also a reason Tanaka lost his job.
