FFXI vs FFXII

Alright so, last week my fiance and I drove to Eugene for our little vacation (if you even wanna call it a vacation) and we came across a BestBuy. There I not only bought a new computer *gorgeous* but also fell upon FFXI which I had heard so much hype about. Now I'm not a fan of MMORPG's that cost as much per month as FFXI but I figured I'd give it a try, so I picked it up threw $30 down, and went home to try it. When I got home I happily installed it...yeah...happily? It only took forever to install. THEN when I finally was able to try the game there was a $12 charge to have 1 character, who didnt save the way I wanted her, the installation part is just god aweful and grueling and then when it finally came time to play the game...the controls didnt work, she ran into a wall, I tried to read the book it didnt tell me how. And this game would not in any manner let me exit!!! Even hitting the 'Windows' key didnt minimize the screen. I was so angry I had to have my fiance figure out how to exit the game and then I had him cancel the subscription and remove it from my computer. I've never been so dissappointed with a game in such a short period of time in my life. EVER.  But then a few days ago, with my still jonesing for FF, we ran to Wal*Mart (a conspiracy) and I purchased FFXII as he purchased S.T.A.L.K.E.R. When I brought it home, I was pleased, the graphics are beautiful, the story line so far is real good and not too jumpy, and the controls are simple enough for me. The only problem I have with the game so far is the battle system...I feel it is too slow. But perhaps that could be because I am just at the start of the game. Can u guys tell me your comments on these two games?
