I think people saying no MMOs for kids are a bit strange.
Most children these days have access to the internet, which is far more dangerous than a game like FFXIV. And even a reasonably intelligent kid can get around whatever sort of restrictions a parent might place on that.
I don't see any issue with a 9 year old playing an MMO. It's not any worse or better than anything they'd see on TV, and the people they meet on FFXIV are a better community than most.
