It's the same reason why LOTRO wasn't very successful either.

Fan boys/girls only cling to the fad for so long and grow out of it...or find a new fad to get into.

The reason why Final Fantasy is long staying is because it's first and foremost Final Fantasy...not a fad.
MMO's are not a fad, they're a genre. The problem is they've not been involving since WoW came out until this point.

We knew SWTOR would fail not because of it being an MMO or the Star Wars franchise but because it was a bad game. Same thing with LOTRO. If anything the fact that their basted on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings is probably the main reason why they're still going. As a matter of fact LOTRO is still doing very well, they're even getting an expansion this/next year.

Fan boys/girls don't cling to fads, the cling to whatever they're fans of. A Star Wars fanboy will never abandon Star Wars for the next big thing, they're going to stay with Star Wars. That's what a fanboy is, that's what a fanboy does.

Final Fantasy is no different from the other two. The only reason why all 3 have not been terminated completely is because of their name.
