I can confirm this happening for me even with the latest wine-1.4-rc1.
In actuality, I have been completely unable to get past the character select screen in FFXI with various versions of wine (1.2.1, 1.3.8, 1.3.10) for nearly two years now. I originally posted to the forum about a year ago, with no resolution as of yet: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=10729
The difference for me, though, is I'm using the Japanese version of FFXI, not the English version which I suppose everyone else is using...
I've tried changing the Windows version to XP, Vista, and 7. All of them work the same: POL login works fine, FFXI launches, I select the character to login as, then the connection to the lobby server is made, and the screen fades out to black... and hangs there. The music is still playing looped in the background, and the "Downloading Data" icon which should appear in the bottom-right never shows.

I'll be more than happy to assist in tracking this bug down. I've attached a log with WINEDEBUG=warn+all with wine-1.4-rc1 set to Windows Vista mode for starters.
