I think XIV will "die" in the same way as PSO2 Classic did: becoming a separate version of the sequel (NGS). I didn't play much PSO2 but I'm quite sure NGS is way more popular than Classic PSO2. What I expect is some sort of Final Fantasy XIV-2. I wouldn't expect a new mainline title for a new MMO anytime soon, or ever even, since releasing new MMOs after 2015 is a bad idea (I'm quite sure the only MMO released after 2015 that is doing well is Classic WoW, which is ironic :P), unless the developers can milk the new playerbase enough to make the profit enough for developing a MMO, which I guess it's hella expensive. I expect XIV to get a treatment similar to PSO2 NGS, with an option to play the OG XIV because... why not? Yoshida said we have at least 10 years of XIV ahead as you can see in this video: https://youtu.be/v5fUDOe-IYA?si=Jqu02on5z7cRqirL
