Final Fantasy has that kind of power in the name department, especially in Japan.

XIV won't beat WoW, I'm pretty certain of that, but I reckon with enough love the game could at least gain a sizable subscriber base. XIV's biggest hurdle is getting over all the negative stigma people already have, really.
star wars may have subscribers right now, but heres the thing

its still a relatively new game, and itl sell based on the name alone

tons of people i know who played it have already quit, and im sure tons more will be on their way out shortly, after about a year, do you really think itl still have as many people? probly not, itl have a fraction of that, just as every other wow clone has ended up having after people wake up and realize what they are playing
