I am a PC player, and I've seen/compared both PC and PS2. The graphics for the PS2 version are really at a low setting, but for PC with the higher specs you can set the graphics so much higher than the Playstation and it looks really nice. Controls are never a problem, but I like using my keyboard for most everything rather than a controller, and I don't feel limited at all, however all it takes is some getting used to and you can take either. I guess a good thing about having FFXI on the PS2 is you can lay down on your bed and play or something You have to have a comfortable chair to sit and enjoy FFXI on the PC ^^
