Also, even though SE gives you the number of FFXIV's account, they don't give you the actual number of subscribers. Based on the number of viewers on twitch FFXIV is currently faring roughly as well as TESO (also a F2P game).
XIV isn't a very "streamable" game. Progression isn't particularly fun to watch for people who don't play the game. On the other hand, mobas and fps games are easier to understand for non-players.
