The frustrating parts of FFXI were always the most memorable for me i.e Chains of Promathia missions.
Exploration was pretty cheap in XI, though, since you can't jump, can't swim and 90% of the geography wasn't traversable. You had little set paths down the middle of things and that was about it.

Not to mention nothing was soloable, so it's not like you could just spend an afternoon exploring unless you wanted to die.
