I absolutely cannot fathom why anyone would care about whether FFXIV is called FFXIV or FFOnlineII or I dunno what else. It's an FF game in spirit.
This, this, this!
In fact, FFXI and presumably FFXIV are closer to the idea of the original Final Fantasy games than the latest ones - that's if people are going to argue whether it's not a "real" Final Fantasy(which is a bullbalony arguement anyway).
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
