Although AO was officially my first MMO, FFXI was the first one I was addicted to, hardcore. This game requires such tremendous amounts of time to progress it just eats you alive. It's charming in a lot of ways, and there's a certain satisfaction you receive when you get an item or reach a milestone like max level due to the difficulty involved that can't really be replicated in a game like WoW, but it's just not a worthwhile game to play unless you have huge boatloads of time to devote.

I hope they create another FF MMO in the future that accounts for peoples needs to sleep, eat, defecate & work. I'd be on board.
