Just FYI, FFXI has been "dying" going on like 8 years now. Basically find balance in your life, I have most things level but I'm certainly not rushing it. No MMO out there will give you things to do forever if you never log out. Eventually you will run out of content, at least the content you are interested in. Some people level one battle class to 50, do a few raids then complain, "I have nothing to do." Happens all the time on every MMO that has or ever will come out for all eternity, just be happy there is no pay-to-win F2P crap garbage here.
