Realize two hours have passed and you are still running circles in town, logoff and proceed to strangle your retarded friend who told you to get the game. FFXI is not a solo game. I dont care what the tard was saying about the beastmaster class, its still not solo friendly, and besides you cant just grab the game and go play a beastmaster. On top of things, once you can actually fight the combat is equivalent to a sloth on valium.
Typical day in WoW.
Level a character BY YOURSELF either doing minimal grind or by yourself. Notice there are tons of people doing instance quests for gear. Decide if you wanna level or get gear. Bored of that, go do some pvp battlegrounds, not your cup of tea? Go work on some manufacturing skills. Bored of that? GO make a night elf female and dance naked for some gold.
On top of that....WoW IS a much more polished game. In no way am i saying FFXI is not polished, the finished product is just not what WoW is. And you anti-wow tards can argue all you want but the numbers dont lie, WoW is thriving, FFXI is effectively dead.
WoW = 2.5 years
FFXI = 4 weeks (i tried giving it a shot, just not worth it)
I play neither now btw. WoW is not without flaws, the endgame is a huge time sink only really friendly to those willing to devote massive amounts of time to the game and the PVP is far from perfect, but its still the BEST all around MMO out right now hands down
GOD HAS SPOKEN......Argument over

No Another FFXI noob has spoken.
I have never spent more than half hour looking for a party.
Cap in BST takes a couple weeks. It is very solo friend. Not as much as WoW. Every aspect of WoW is just easier. FFXI BST takes alot more skill than solo in WoW.
FFXI is definately not dead. Their subscribers are still massive. FFXI now has more Towns and cities which means the people per unit area is reduced. People don't crowd Jueno because there are several new areas. Also more people log on and know where they want to go so the chill time in cities has definately decreased. FFXI still has one of the highest subscriber rates whether u like it or not.
FFXI is more polished than WoW. There is far more content, the systems are more refined and tweaked. It's multiplatform. Plays like a console-computer mmorpg hybrid.
And in ffxi notice there are tons of people doing instance quests for gear. Decide if you wanna level or get gear. Bored of that, go do some pvp battlegrounds, not your cup of tea? Go work on some crafting skills. Bored of that? GO make a elvaan female and dance naked for some gold.
You see "tard" FFXI has all the afore mentioned features and more than WoW does. You played FFXI for 4 weeks and you barely tipped the ice berg. Anyone who quits ffxi because they end up taking 2 hours to get a party is a ffxi noob who never got anywhere.
Only Noobs, and newbs spend 2 hours getting a party, I'm sorry.
My point is that You got into wow test drove the car checked out all the features while u looked at FFXI from a distance fumbled on the manual transmition and because you weren't skilled enough to get anywhere you flame it. FFXI is most definately harder to get into, most definately. You gave up before you could.
I played both for about 1 year and a half. Both are fun great games. But FFXI has more content, is more challenging, and when you know what your doing is more fun and a more memorable experience than WoW.

@ Recon
It's obvious that The question "Which game is better" merits an answer which would be an opinion.
Your the only dumb one for thinking that needs to be stated.
