Ok, in order to peg the problem we need information. What kind of hardware are you trying to run the game on?
I've gotten errors where it said it could not initialize a D3D Hardware TnL system. That's a necessary feature for running FFXI. I think the game also requires SSE instruction functionality from the CPU.
If you can post a screen capture of what you're looking at we can give you more help. Also...
