No Shift, he's right.
FFXI grind is hard to master, it's fast and fun when you get it right.
The game's grind is definately more engaging that WoW, sorry but it really is.
Playing in good parties is always fun, understanding your char and your personal play style, then matching it to those around you to create synergy is key.
If you don't have that then the grinding is ALWAYS going to be hard and you'll end up making coments like corasked.
Don't get me wrong I think WoW is fun, and awesome and a worthy experience. But FFXI is just a more solid game.
You say
"Final Fantasy tried and failed on a few concepts, but it over all was a decent game, though hardly as solid in design as WoW. FF seemed confused at what it wanted to be at times and the forced partying was its biggest down fall in my opinion."
Utter bull. FFXI has tried and succeeded in a myriad of concepts. The design is definately more solid than WoW. There are two classes MADE for solo, and can solo very quickly, and additional jobs that can solo, duo and trio. More and more solo endgame content is available. The class system is more sensibly balanced Paladins aren't main healers =/. A year ago the game was made for the core player but everything coming in now is geared to shorter and shorter times needed to complete.
Getting to end game is an epic adventure. From AF quests, to special rare/ex items, to crafting to making friends, bsing around. Getting to 75 the first time is an experience that's just not seen in any other game.
There is no way WoW is more solid that FFXI.

Then what are the implications of your rhetorical questions. Because you must know the answer.
WoW has more, it's easier. Capping is so dang easy WoW is like one big lan party. Which is great.
We Lan Party WoW at my uni after hours. The game feels like a custom WC3 map and that's what was very popular around the time it popped. Doens't matter how crappy the game was, the idea of playing as your fav WC3 character was phenomenal.
That jump started it and what made it really take off was the advertising.
