FFXI IMO is just a level-treadmill with no real style, poor graphics housed in a Final Fantasy shell.
I will definitely be playing WoW as a Blizzard game has never sucked and the style and the gameplay mechanics of it looks amazing, possibly catering to my playing preference as well. It also has the Blizzy signature touch of humor to it that I'm sure Square can't get out.
Imagine fighting gigantic, detailed Pit Lords and Void Demons with a group of ragtag adventurers that don't look like Japanese supermodels :-P
I'll see you all in Azeroth
