It's sort of an illusion that you experienced with FFXI. The limitation on movement is the source of that illusion. The reason XI felt like it has the best keyboard control is because the mouse function wasn't considered into the restrictive design, thus it was horrible to use for most people. That's why the way the games controls are restrictive works well with just the keyboard.

It had some things going on that helped that fact though, like going into first-person and using the arrow keys to look around, which was quick and responsive. But overall, it was just an illusion that it was a "perfect" design for keyboard-only play. When you incorporate certain functions, particularly jumping, the mouse control is SIGNIFICANT to better response. Far from mandatory, but it allows for potentially better play (quick turning mid-jump to attack, without hindering kiting speed).
