its a pc and ps2 game right?
is this game as hard or is the story as boring as FF12's?
It's definitely harder than FF12, and the story presentation is really bad in comparison to other Final Fantasy titles. I won't say whether it's as boring as FF12's or not because I actually like FF12's story. xD

But yeah, don't play it if you're going for series completion. It's not the kind of thing for doing that. FFXI is a game that will require a large amount of time to truly enjoy, too. It may feel like you can go casual towards the beginning of the game, but as you progress you'll find yourself trapped in a world of grinding for hours each day.

Edit: Also, I've been making a lot of comparisons to other games in the series in this thread, but I'd have to say that this game shouldn't be compared to the Final Fantasy games. Instead, it should be compared to other MMORPGs.
