I play on a desktop, but the only time I ever touch my keyboard is to type, either the chat window or to type out a command. Most of the action I do is accomplished through a USB controller that logitech makes which is the exact same shape, size, and number of buttons as a Playstation 2 controller.
Sounds to me like you didn't change the config settings in FFXI for your laptop. If you go into the Config settings you can easily set it to use wasd to move and such. This gets rid of having to use the FN Key.
Back to Topic: I have used both full and compact. Before my computer blew up I used Full. Back then I would have said Full atw. But now I play on a netbook. Have it set to Compact and since I have been playing games with wasd more and more lately, this feels much more natural to me. As a few ppl have stated though, it all depends on what feels more natural to you. I don't believe there is a difference in performance between the two.

I use the full keyboard. My partner uses the compact keyboard. We each hate the other way and refuse to play each others characters because of it.
i use compact. i see some people are disliking the "fn+num:" functions, but my kb has a numpad built in so i dont have that problem. i have access to both, but i prefer compact cause of the ease in manuvering and chat
