So it looks like Final Fantasy XIV (after having the staff swapped around) will have a major reboot in a December re-release that will coincide with the Playstation version.

By the look of things, "v2.0" will feature tons of throw backs to older Final Fantasy games and will draw off of them for setting-inspiration. The engine that it uses will also be a lot less demanding, so large scale PvP will be possible.
I hope it does well, and I may pick it up when it comes around.
