Square has been 100% missing the last few years. I think the shake-ups they did should help with the future game releases. FF Versus1315 looks like a nice reboot and change.
(forums can't do strike through so white text it is!)
As for FF14 it failed once, and is running down the same failure path again if they can't get the server stuff right. However, EVERY MMO has launch woes and EVERYONE always claims how X company should have planned better, etc. It's just how they all seem to work. I have yet to see a new MMO launch and NOT have issues like that.
I'm tempted by the game, but the taint of the original, and everyone's "it's not that different/better" feedback from the reboot beta is keeping me from committing. Time to get back to my overly foolish backlog of steam titles.
