This makes me wonder if they decide to change their game engine (which will never happen as it is very demanding). But I imagine all that could be fixed about the issues we see today - like housing, head parts for vieras, etc all them fixed! Yep, it's a dream...

But, when I put my feet on the ground, I know they will not make such big changes and will work only inside the limitations the actual engine has. So that lend me to a conclusion: I don't need to expect this game to have a "next-gen" quality of game, as it's limited by its old engine. So I need to get used to all the stuff already made and just chill out and keep playing along with those limitations. What I mean is: "as I dream about what could be, I stop dreamming and accept the game as it is understanting it's limitations".

And as for the new player stuff, well, I always encourage them not to skip any cutscenes, any dialogue and to click to talk to the NPC that doesn't give quests around. And why so? to put the player inside a world so well made that it will last almost 20 years (maybe more?), despite any lack of major transformation in this engine or all the limitations we see nowadays.

We don't know exactly what they will do in the next years, but this is a very competent team. So, let's just enjoy the game today and leave the future for their brains :3
And for new players, just encourage them to see this game like a really and well done storytelling which is most enjoyed if you go step by step ignoring the end. Sometimes, in good stories, the middle of the path is as good as the destiny.
