If you will have any chance at making those general MMO'ers stay, you will need a near flawless game. And this game isn't it.

However, if they had targeted FF fans that has been loyal for 20+ years. They would have gotten a more stable and long term consumer base. Instead I believe that subscriptions will vary a lot from month to month.
