Yes and no. For FFXI in particular yeah, probably not going to gain anything from a business standpoint. However doing so and just making an all encompassing SE premium subscription that applied to all their online titles would lay groundwork for the future as currently FFXIV and DQX both have paid expansions. FFXI had these too but I don't see new content being added to that title now unless they suddenly want to overhaul it to make use of PS5 and modern PC hardware. There's bound to be more titles down the road as well and having a single SE sub covering all online services would make it easier for players of existing titles to try the new one since they wouldn't be stacking a new sub on top of the initial retail purchase.
