What it comes down to is that all this is, is a merry go round of blah blah blah because to be honest every argument for the most part has been based on opinions.

The fact that the game would even have a chance means that it is a viable option to look into. You and I cant say how much of a chance or weither it really should or shouldnt be investigated into without evidence, NOT OPINIONS, to back up such a claim. I get that the majority of FFXIV players on this site may not like the idea but there are many reasons this could be.

1. how many have played the series outside of ffXIV
2. how many games has said demogrpahic played of the series and what games?
3. What bad and good experiences have said players had with the company (I.E. Dissidea and btw you can argue that it was a good game but popular/majority vote argues against that)
4. etc. etc.

My point being is that no one that had an argument against the idea came up with a solid, "This is the reason it wouldnt work" statement.

That would take research and man hours.
Things to consider I have already posted.
1.money
2.time.
3.resources such as man power
4.demographic
5.competition (why ffxiv is failing)
6,staff
7.Future products.
8.projects in past that have attempted this same idea? (none that I know of, but does that mean its a bad idea? Maybe/Maybe not)

All the arguments I got were just cosmetic,storyline,etc. Those are all relative, again RELATIVE to the development team. If people were so freaking scared to try out new concepts and ideas there would be no variety and ground breaking games or technology.

If people are closed minded about things without considering both sides of the argument. (Which none of you have but me.) Then the world would be a dull ass place to live.
You know why on kickstarter, Doublefines, Wasteland 2 and Shadowrun racks in millions? Because they are all very big names in the industry, with years of experience and fame to back them. At the other spectrum, hundreds of other projects attract very little funding and many did not get funded at all. If you believe your idea is so good, why not write to SE officially (not through forum) or have a Kickstarter project yourself?
