Final Fantasy is an extremely big brand though with many, many different games. not only that if they did shared subscription they would lose money. This is very different from WoW Retail/Classic since Classic is just a Vanilla version to Retail. FFXIV and FFXI are vastly different the only things that are the same is that they share characteristics of what all Final Fantasy games have to make it a Final Fantasy. There are players of FFXIV that are not interested in FFXI and vice versa. If there was a shared subscription I would feel forced to play FFXI just to get my money's worth since half of my sub is paying for that as well.

In the end Square won't do it it's much more profitable to have separate subs.
