    World of warcraft is so much better!

    It has the largest player base in the world it totals up to about 13 million!

    I've only played a month and a half of both, but I enjoyed FFXI more.

    WoW has too many n00b killers so everyone is a total ass to you until you're like, Lv. 30. FFXI has hardly anybody, so depends on how you like your gameplay.

    which is why PvE is more aptly known as 'normal' and PvP is called PvP

    WoW hands down.
    I bought FFXI and went like 3 days into the trial before I realized I couldn't stand it.

    WoW is much more friendly to new and casual players, while FFXI caters more to the hardcore. With how mainstream video games have become, I think a game like WoW will always find a bigger audience, and I think if no one is playing your game, it can't be the best.

    It is obvious that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

    I have not played Final Fantasy XI. I have no interest in it and from what I have seen, we would not get along very well. World of Warcraft is very accepting and easily accessible therefore it is my choice in an ideal MMORPG.

    Is that all you base your argument on? Numbers does not mean better.

    Depends on your style of play. WoW is definitely (and I do mean definitely) orientied toward those gamers who are casual. The leveling is incredibly fast and quick-paced compared to FFXI; the game STARTS at 60 (well, now I guess it would be 70). FFXI is grueling and slow, but the work-->reward ratio for either game is approximately the same.

    As for n00b killers, whoever said that WoW has a bunch of n00b killers clearly has not played Starcraft nor Diablo I or II in its prime. Learn youself some gaming competence, please.

    I do, however, expect FFXI to be thrown off into the annals of forgotten gaming within two years. Making a numbered entry into the FF series an MMO was an incredibly bad call on Square's part. Or not.

    Neither is better, until people realize there will always be someone who disagrees with you, the debate can never truthfully be answered. Play both and see which one you like more, that's the only way you'll get your answer. The opinion of someone else, or more than one person, doesn't matter.

    I myself think WoW is too quest dependant, which I hate. I'm also not too fond of the way the battle system is.

    FFXI I played for since US PC release, so I obviously like it.

    I choose FFXI in this debate, but it doesn't mean you will like it more than WoW.

    From a price standpoint FFXI is kinda screwy. You have to pay an extra buck a month to have extra characters and you don't get to pick which server you play on.

    I know WoW has like a 10-day free trial if you just want to download it and try. I really enjoy playing it.
