Meh, I think I'll pass. I played FFXI for years but the only memories I have of it fall into one of the following categories:

1) Sitting around and waiting. Waiting to find a group, waiting for the airship, waiting for people to show up at our grinding camp, waiting on loading screens, waiting for a teleport/warp user to help you out because travel without these spells is a nightmare... And I played the PC version which you could not window or alt+tab out of without the game logging you out, so it's not like you could just watch Youtube or something while you waited for all this stuff
2) Trying in vain to make money amidst a legion of Chinese farmers or farmbots camping every rare spawn and finally just giving up in frustration
3) Guild drama
4) Grinding. Endless, mind numbing hours of grinding, be it leveling, weapon training, or professions. Everything is a slow, repetitive grind, the results of which could take weeks or months before you start to see any tangible reward or signs of progress for all your hard-spent hours

I don't expect any of these things to change to the degree that it makes the game enjoyable for me. I wish I could get that time back.
