FFXI is very slow paced in the beginning,infact its very competitive and..grindy expect to die alot because the game forces you to play a race fit for that class or else the downside? you die,Alot. And lose Tons of exp. at some point i couldnt even level i'd grind all the way up to the last kill and die..it also causes frustration because you kill 2 things then you must wait 3-5mins to heal and do it all over again.
Afterwards..around lvl 10 you're FORCED to join a party to even level right,some people dislike soloing even tho its a ffxi genre they should offer some solo capabilities. Alot of people love to take it solo as i previously stated.
Mainly afterwards FF XI Doesn't have much more to offer than WoW maybe 1 or 2 extra features but those aren't even that great and I'm not trying to sound biased.
The community there is a bit..DEAD there is usually no one is on and if they are its probably a bunch of people from japan who are on when you sleep,i find this disappointing also because i had to constantly change servers to find one with a active populace(i didnt).
World of warcraft.
WoW isnt really hard its a pretty easy game,you can solo or party(dugeons,Elite monsters,Party quests) and what not. People complain that WoW is generic alot,well you idiots all games are generic. WoW doesnt offer anything new but it does a good *** job of making thoes so called "old,Used" Game features new.
There isn't much grind other than the fact if your Farming a item or something since u get bonus exp for when you're logged off or in a tavern chatting.
The community is WoW is usually contradicted for kids,well its not. It depends on the server you play not the faction. i.E i rolled on a Role playing server i rarely ran into those "Assholes" or "Kids" in alliance sure there was douches and jocks who thought they were better than you,but isn't that what Ignore is for?
So please before you can contradict a game have facts.
Dont be a Noob..

This is a prime example at a post made of complete fail. You sir, need to get your facts straight.
You DO NOT have to go solo after level 10. There are plenty of ways to solo now that the game has been updated to better suit parties that are lower then 6 people. You can solo just fine now. It might not yield as great of results as partying will but you can still do it.
Odin is having a server migration because there are over 5000 people on the server at any given time. The community is NOT dead there are still tons of people around.
Race doesn't matter anymore. All race does is tell you what gear you will need to buy instead of the majority.
Parties are faster paced and if you are fighting for 1 minute then resting for 3-4 then there is something wrong with what you are doing and you are probably in a party filled with 2 monks a thief and 3 red mages.
Parties are even faster now that 2handers got a major damage buff as well.
From what I'm hearing it sounds like you played back in 2005 and didn't keep up with any of the updates. You need to pay attention to what how the ****ing game changed and stop trying to make an accurate opinion based off something that got patched ages ago. It's not the same game as it used to be. Period.
