Believe it or not, but FFXI's smaller base was due to other factors such as PC hardware prices! I spent over 1k easily to have a decent pc! And if you call peak subrcribers @ 500k a failure then i don't know what is a success! I don't think people wanted FFXI-2, they wanted SE to step up and make a game that was unique to its own! 1.0 was really bad due to the BUGS that it shipped with.

FFXIV 2.0 isn't bad but, it really disappointed me not in dungeon content but rather overall content! (Not a dungeon runner)
