Yes FFXI is a MMORPG (of which there are already several - EverQuest, Anarchy Online, DAOC, etc.). To my knowledge, FFXI will be the first console game of this genre though, as the others that I have listed are all PC games. The last I'd read, though there might well be more recent news, it was supposed to be released in Japan early this year.
I'm a huge fan of the FF games, but I tend to find online games lacking, repetitive, and extremely time-consuming. That doesn't mean I won't try it, because most likely I will - I guess I'm just a little dubious.
As I do not have a PS2 (I'm still in the Dark Ages with my PS1), I'm still waiting/hoping for a PC version of FFX, though I've heard no mention of any plans to make one.
