I know they're talking about new projects mainly. But ff14 isn't negligible older project yet. Maintaining it's dwindling popularity by same philosophy doesn't seem impossibly far fetched. In other words, stopping people from dropping ff14 by giving us what vast majority wants should be second best scenario, where luring new people in is the best.
