I would like to see an XI-2 instead of XVII. A new Vana'diel based game, with it's core gameplay similar to XI but with a few additions from XIV so I'm not waiting 3 hours for a party like the bad old days.

If XI-2 is a no-show then XVII better be an actual MMORPG, which XIV isn't really.

Remember that XIV was announced in ~2007, they didn't wait until XI was dying to start work so I'd be surprised if the next MMO wasn't already in the works.
Between XI and XIV, XI is clearly the one that's aging the worst. So I definitely agree with you. Keep XIV going, it's popular and it will be successful for a while. But make a newer updated iteration of an entry closer to XI than XIV for people who wanted something like XI but not as clunky/PS2-like graphics.
