While World of Warcraft is the top MMORPG in North America, Final 
Fantasy XI is the number one most played MMORPG in Japan and parts of 
Asia (except for Korea where Blizzard's games are insanely popular, they 
play Starcraft tournaments on TV).

This is a big deal and huge leap for Wine, before you couldn't install 
PlayOnline ... the frontend for the FFXI required for signing up for the 
game, updating the game, and receiving notices from SquareEnix.  From 
what I've been able to determine the game is quite playable under Wine 
with a few minor issues.  Its pretty amazing, and amusing since 
Parallels on the Mac which is supposed to have Direct3D support can't 
run FFXI correctly, the graphics are corrupted.
