Well, there are many raids, but in the end they start feeling pretty much the same. There are no interesting stories whatsoever either, but the controls and UI are light years ahead of FFXI and then there is the PVP content, which just doesn't exists in FFXI.
I think it's very much a "lighter" game experience than FFXI, so you kind of warm up to it faster but also grow tired of it faster.
It also hasn't got broken game mechanics the way FFXI does. Armour and shields actually do something instead of just looking pretty underneath a few layers of shadows and so on.
