No way in the hell who something like the OTL revolution would happen under the reign of Louis XIV: 1) he would never called the parliament, 2) if forced to do it he would have still kept the delegates under strict control 3) anything like a tentative on Bastille and Paris would became red with the blood of the rebels as Louis would use the army for suffocating the rebellion without problem...
Also a Louis XV or a Marie-Antoinette in charge would have deal much better than OTL Louis XVI with the beginning of the Revolution crushing it before it became really dangerous.
The undecided, unsure Louis XVI who had never wanted be King and do it knew how rule and thinked who doing the opposite of what Charles I of England had done would be enough for saving his skin and Crown? Well he was the wrong man at the wrong time... If he had imposed his will (either on his ministers earlier, on the tax without calling Parliament or on the vote system or in sending the army to dissolve the assembly illegally reunited) most likely the Bastille would never happened. If he had ordered to the guards to attack the rebels either at Versailles or at the Tuileries he would be most likely be able to keep Crown and life...
 
With good ol'style suppression and mass execution. Something like the Bastille would never have happen and if it did then he would've send in the army and violently suppress the riot and had all ring leaders executed, people like Murat and Robespierre would have been pants shitting terrified for their lives and would've fled to England.
