That said, FFXIV is not FFXI, FFXIV achieved to reach out of the mmo players niche, thus I feel like if XIV is not in a good state when (and if) they release a new mmo, people won't bother checking it because how critical they have been about XIV.

Basically, if they don't have a new mmo, XIV has to perform well, if they have a new one, XIV also has to perform well, because it's gonna be hard to market a mmo "from the company that killed its previous MMO at its peak with bad decisions" or "from the company that let it previous mmo rot".
question is how many would buy another MMO from SE. Thing is if people are already unhappy with 14 and maybe dont trust the company anymore less people will buy it and others will drop out completly because nobody wanna lose his stuff esp houses and builds
