Okay, so I burnt one of my Xmas presents from my parents by convincing them to get it for me last night...
After one night of play, as much as I'm surprised to hear myself say this, FFXI is practically finished at this point...
WoW is MUCH fasterpaced, you don't have to level an ungodly number of times to get certain skills similar to those in FFXI. For instance: My hunter is only lvl 5 now, but already has the ability to see monsters on my minimap (which in FFXI requires 40+ total levels: 30 to ranger and several more to "Widescan"). There's practically NO downtime, and when there is, it's only a fraction of FFXI's. The battles are MUCH cooler, and I have to leave for work now, but will post more later.
I HIGHLY recommend this game, even after just one night of play. Car, it'd be sweet to get you on something like this, another XBL friend would be awesome!
