Calling FFXI small is more like calling Japan small. It's not small, you're just comparing it to titanics in the same category.
FFXI is still, last I checked, in the top 5 MMOs in terms of subscribers-- it's definitely in the top ten. To look at it another way, assuming there are 32 servers with 2000-4000 players online at any given time each, that's a total of around two hundred thousand people online
simultaneously. That is
huge-- EVE online; not counting chinese servers; has pushed around 40k at their peak times (oddly enough, the figures I've seen point to them having similar subscriber numbers, although I could be confusing total accounts with active subscribers)
