I used a playstation controller for the majority of my FFXI play. Some KB work and I knew lots who used the "compact keyboard" set up effectively. Much of the biggest hurdle for people was not simply accepting that this was a PC console port and not conducive to WASD and mouse for controlling it.
I played back at the original NA launch for year between EQ and WoW though, not sure how things are on FFXI emu servers. But the UI was definitely a chore and a dealbreaker for so many EQ players.
