Author's Note: It's worth noting that this article is several years old to the point where it's not too relevant anymore to either game (since this posting seems get frequent traffic off of Google). I'd be interested though, in hearing how FFXI has changed since I originally posted this.

I don't think I really ever made it clear why I quit Final Fantasy XI. As many people know, I bought and tried FFXI shorty after it was released in the US. Played it for about 2 months, before I got sick of it and quit. In short: It started to bore the hell out of me. Not comprehensive by all means, but just in case anyone is interested in hearing my two cents, a comparison between FFXI and World of Warcaft, and why I'm sticking with WoW.
