Compared to what it was, FFXI has been officially fixed. While some things will actually be missed.... here's a brief list of updates that have happened over the years:
1) Soloing to level up is now possible. EP mobs now give 100xp instead of 12-25 xp. 2) Hitting the maximum level now takes about 1 month of casual play. You can do it faster if you want. 3) There is a Teleport to sky available from various craigs after completing a quest. 4) Many of the Kings became forced pops. 5) Level Sync is now possible. You can play with lower level friends and not have to get low level gear, your high level gear is scaled appropriately. 6) The CoP level caps were supposedly removed... so it wasn't the biggest nightmare in the world to play. 7) The level cap was actually raised from 75 to 99. 8) The price of Dynamis was dropped from 1 million to 50k. 9) LFP for hours is gone do to soloing being available.
... there were actually a bunch of other things updated and added, but these things really stuck out.
In the last few weeks I actually leveled DNC/BLU/BST/DRK/RDM to 30 without a whole lot of effort or time.
I'll be playing this for a while, right now I'm only playing really late at night. Feel free to look me up if your on. Since Titan was merged with Pheonix I'm now "Bridgerbot" and not "bridger".

99% of the new content, features, and innovations were made by a new developer while Tanaka was busy fucking up ff14.
Tanaka is now back working on ff11 and is seriously fucking the game up. He's squandered the last 2-3 level cap increase patches and begun undoing the progress his replacement had made.
There is enough content there to keep you entertained for a short while, but the game is on it's last legs with Tanaka at the helm. I feel this is intended. They want Tanaka to run ff11 into the ground and force people who enjoy the FF niche towards FF14.

and Paladin have phalanx from what I heard!!! It is! So the reason for the improvements was the removal of a very crappy developer huh? Apparently he isn't satisfied with 1/2 the servers shut down and wants them all shut down? Well I guess I'll enjoy the fun version of this game while it lasts. I'll never play FFXIV, I'm not going through Tanka's crap again, nor the rest of the SE development team. Seriously, most MMO's take 1-2 years to get a majority of the bugs out... Tanka should really be fired.
