A lot of repeat complainers here on the forums keep bringing up "old graphics and gameplay" dragging the game down, but if that was the case, then we wouldn't have an entire datacenter closed off and talks about increasing the server capacity.

According to a recent interview, Yoshi-P said he would only make a new MMO if he could make something good enough that would move all of the players over from FFXIV. He also said in the same interview that the FFXI sub base is actually growing and they plan to release content for its 20th anniversary.
This. I don't think SE will make a new MMO or even consider it for a very long time. FF11 was made for the PS2 and was a different time.
14 was their way to modernize their MMO and make a wow like game.

I think they just need to update the engine and make updates to it rather then gamble with a new mmorpg entry.
