FFXIV essentially replaces a small of content every 3 months and a large set of raids every 6 months. I think the main problem is that FFXIV content is static (i.e. there is only one way to beat dungeons, static moves from bosses, etc) while FFXI content is dynamic and can be tackled so many different ways.
