Online gaming just wasn't a big thing on PS2. FF11 was the only online game I was even aware of at the time. I wanted to play it but it wasn't realistic.

FF fans weren't PC gamers by and large at that point. I'm kind of amazed the game survived at all. It was far ahead of its time and not well aligned with the market.

It was (and to my knowledge still is) huge in Japan, it had a large cult following that kept it alive as western gamers favored WoW a bit more.
