A wise decision to keep the game subscription-based. FFXIV is the successor of Square's biggest money maker, and one of the most popular MMOs ever, and it would be silly to waste such a big name on a F2P game.
Subscriptions will allow FFXIV to spread it's wings as high as possible, and give MMO fans a much better service than F2P.
