They've sort of steadily done it over time in many regards. Some of the older, less polished enemy/critter models were completely remade. Sometimes more than once - and it was applied retroactively throughout prior expansion content. A lot of areas also received touch ups at various points.

I don't think it'd be a terrible strain for the FFXIV development team to take a similar approach on a smaller scale. There's some key issues that could be fixed - such as the fuzzy textures on Hien's attire - but pretty much every enemy model is of a high quality.

Character customisation, however, would be welcomed for improvement. Especially when multiple rival MMO's are tackling the problem in their respective games. Personally I'm hoping that both WoW's next expansion and the overhauled PS02 do very well for themselves. FFXIV could use some major competition to remain healthy and focused.
