FFXIV has lost it's magic

face the facts.
FFXIV has more subscribers than FFXI ever had and there's still the PS4 version coming.

FFXIV is obviously more popular than FFXI for a reason.

You should probably also face the facts.
#1 Final Fantasy Title Financially for Square-Enix -->> Final Fantasy XI by a huge margin.

600k? That is 100k more than XI's peak. XI held 400-500k subscribers for YEEAAAARS, YEARS, years, years. Long lasting subscriptions.

You know what FFXIV has to do to beat FFXI? Stay afloat with a high amount of subs for 9+ years and release 4-5 expansions within that time.

You know what the FFXI and 1.0 fanbase is doing for FFXIV here on these forums? Helping to make XIV's longevity a reality. I see only this community actually co-operating, unlike the WoW community that fight and bicker and turn a blind-eye to anything FFXI related.
