There's a good chance that this game may completely outdo FF11 for them. Peak users for FF11 was 500,000. This game has 1,000,000 unique users and rising (according to their recent statement.) This is double what FF11 ever has. Sure you can say "The game just came out." but when FF11 came out it only had around 200,000-300,000. They would need to lose more than 50% of their current players in order to drop below FF11's peak performance. It's a bit early to claim FF14 is going a poor direction. It seems they learned from FF11 and improved upon it.
