FFXi is actually pretty fun, I play the Xbox version because I cannot stand playing games on a PC.
If you want to give it a shot let me know, we can party up. IF I need to recommend something however. Prepare for aggravating installations, signing up for services and and aggravating controls (which are horribly simple once you get used to them).
Get the Ultimate Collector's edition, it comes with 30 free days and a head piece and body piece, and it's only $40
