You would need to download the game first then the Model Viewer to do so. What the Model Viewer does is read the numerous types of files (armor, face, monster, music, pose, etc) that FFXI displays throughout gameplay. The Model Viewer simply runs a program that lets you pick and choose what you want to see without actually playing the game.
But as the game gets updated and new armor is added, you would need to update as well, and to update you would need an account. So unless you could find a free download of the game, along with someone willing to send you all the files that get installed via update, the Model Viewer wouldn't be that useful.
Though I'm sure people here would be more then happy to help you create these characters if you could give them some sort of description of how they look. Be advised however, the face selection in this game is limited at best.
