Since 2007, an official windowed mode has been available. This can be turned on by opening the FINAL FANTASY XI Config Tool and checking the "Run in Windowed Mode" in the General Tab. There is also an unofficial windowed mode using a 3rd party program called Windower; which does a lot more than just a windowed mode as well.
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Using Windower with "Hide Border" and the resolution matching your desktop resolution will run the game in a borderless windowed mode.

Issues unresolved
Frame rate
The max frame rate for the game is 30 FPS. If you are not finding your framerate near that, it can help to turn off shadows in the in-game options.
Also try removing all USB devices. In the past, it was found that certain USB devices would cause a framerate drop.[1]
Issues fixed
Crashes
The game typically does not stay open if another program is in fullscreen mode. If something opens in fullscreen mode, FFXI will most likely close/crash.
Will not run on Windows Vista/7
The Windows Vista/Windows 7 version must be downloaded: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/download/media/vista01.html?pageID=media
