"you can solo to end-game"; is what killed it!

Uh, I am completely positive that Not-Even-Last-Gen implementation is what really killed this game, OP. Or was it ever alive to begin with.

This is an MMO, in the year 2011. Leveling should not be the hardest part about an MMO. Leveling has never been the hardest part of any good RPG. Leveling is not content. Content is Content. Party-grinding is not hard, challenging, impressive, or even additive to the actual game in any way (although it does help the 'business' if you would be so interested).

TLDR - Boring battle systems, Not-So-Dynamic-and-Next-Gen content, and technical flaws are the things that are keeping this game from taking off. That being said, the story-telling is alright (but certainly not excellent by single-player FF standards... but this is an MMO after all).
