I think you're right on. There is sort of this big gaping hole in MMOs at the moment. People are realizing that FTP doesn't really cut it in terms of longevity and polish. They are just money-grabs for the most part. FFXIV is in it for the long term. They are building something from the ground up and it shows. FFXIV has a great chance to be huge.
