I am extremely skeptical that 'millions' of people are actually interested, and on top of that willing to spend that much money for something they know will be a suboptimal experience.
A lot of people would disagree with that and some would even say that it is the best FF story of any FF game. I agree that the subscription fee might still put people off and so might the former association with the MMO category. I doubt they expect to win everyone, but I do wonder if they underestimate how significant these things are in making people decide to avoid it.
