FFXIV has lost it's magic

No, but it's still a stupid comparison. Saying that this game is somehow more successful than XI because it has more subs now than XI ever did is not a sound argument because the two games are separated by more than a decade.

I dunno about that really. I would say that whichever game makes SE the most money is probably going to be the most successful, regardless of what people say about it, and regardless of what time period it came out in. My personal definition would probably more have to do with how long the game stays afloat, and less with overall profit. In which case it's too early to tell, and XI has a huge head start. All subjective on what you view as successful though.
