I hope you realise FFXI was released when MMO's were relatively new (Ultima, EQ, L2, etc). It wasn't until WoW, GW and a crap load of Korean F2P MMO's were introduced that they become 'casual' play.
I think people are just dumb when they say things like "it ruins the whole Final Fantasy series for me!" when it's just a name, and it just happens to have a number tacked on it. It has no bearing on other Final Fantasy games.
By the way, my time zone is Japanese prime time. There are hardly ever any English speaking players during this time, and it gets very lonely.
