If FFXVII is a new online game... would you move inmediately?

This is exactly why, realistically, I don't expect to play another MMORPG once I'm done with XIV.

It's really unfortunate no company of SE's size will bother investing in another such game if its only going to appeal to a niche audience like myself.

There's a few here and there trying to revive the classic MMO formula (Pantheon, AOC etc.), but it remains to be seen how well they do. Certainly for SE, based on what Yoshi has said before (here and here), he does seem to think any future MMO would be more in the direction of an action-based, lobby style game.
