With how hard FFXI is, I'd figure it'd be right up your alley. Though being a perfectionist in that game is quite dangerous. I completed the first 3 expansions's stories, it's a pretty cool epic story.. it just takes TOO much time.
I quit about 3 years ago.. But I'm considering playing FFXIV when it comes out. I just don't like how the classes have been re-labeled.. they should have kept the classic job titles.

Haha oh no doubt the game is hard. I had a friend that sat camped in a spot for 2 weeks waiting for a boss to respawn so it might drop the best bow (Think it was a bow) in the game. :s He even packed his laptop to classes to keep the game on so he could kill the boss if it spawned in class. Obessed haha.
My main problem with MMO games is the pay to play aspect. I just feel like it's throwing away money. I figure the story in FFXI is decent, but I agree it takes too much time.
I like RPGs to be long, but not 8 hours a day for 6 months long. That same friend is still playing FFXI, has maxed all jobs, and has logged something ridiculous like 2 years worth of time into the game when we divided out the hours he spent playing.
I just don't see why wanting the game to have more content is a bad thing. Especially with the way the game ended, there could have been 10 more hours of story that would have worked out well.
