They were certainly considering it as early as 2014. They apparently decided against it because of DPS meters, back in 2016. At least that is the text from an interview in 2016. (Source: A translation of an interview given to gamer.nl at https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...een_postponed/ )

You'll notice that SE stopped giving out interviews about future plans after 2014. What many consider a 'promise' is "here is a feature we're trying to implement". They don't do that anymore. Consider it the result of accusations of "broken promises" dating at least 8 years back.
