Theres something about FFXI

About 3 months ago i ditched FFXI vowing never to return, and to help me in that i gave away everything i could give, to friends who continued playing, my 57 RDM remains a naked little hobo on the streets of jeuno to this day, i asked myself why i left a short while back and came to the following conclusions
Gil was hard to get: Well, i sort of took this on without really thinking about it, my friends always moaned about being broke but i didnt have such a hard time really, i liked to have a bit of pride in my character and so i had to be the rdm who had EVERY spell available to my level, and all three staffs (dark/ice/light), so when i look back, it cant have been that hard if i managed all that.
Party dependency: now this was the real bummer, i couldnt progress without the help of others......even as the hybrid class of the game......but then i thought at the same time, all my most enjoyable moments on FFXI were in parties....you have to take the bad with the good, and i reckon it was probably worth it...
Players: i used to hate being trained, having NM's stolen, ridiculous AH prices.....of course this was more just to reinforce my leaving decision, there are bad players on every MMO ive played since (Lineage 2, everquest 2, city of heros, wow....)
The quests seemed awful aswell, especially the genkai quests, but i realised these are the quests that string together a community and build bonds, of course, the players can make these as easy or hard as they wish, but the sense of accomplishment makes them worth it when you are done...
So after reflecting on all those awful aspects of this game......i find myself drawn once again back to FFXI, ready to face all the crap it throws at me, as a level 1 and im just not sure what it is, but theres definately something about ffxi.
So what is it?

Yeah, FFXI is great, i just came back to it 2 days ago after a 1 year break.... The only thing that tore me away from it in the first place is WoW alpha, but now im back and im lovin it
I quit after a while, then got back into with some friends, then quit once again...and then went back. I only quit again due to failing HD space...I need a new HD, then more than likely I'll be back in the game. I always think about playing it.
you have to give it to the japan they know how to make a good game "most of the time i guess"
FFXI is well it is the frist ever RPG and will it got everything going for it
