I have an CPU: AMD Phenom 2 955 BE @ 3.92GHz, GPU: 8800 GTS 512, RAM: 8 GB DDR3 [forget the speed, the highest avail. at the time]. I'll be able to play XIV on high with 16x AA at 1680x1050 at or around 60fps.

Your processor and ram will be fine but I don't think that graphics card will do 16x AA, 1680x1050 @ 60fps on a game such as FF14. You might get 30+ fps w/o any AA

Sound Card: DirectX®8.1 compatible sound card
Hard Drive Space: 9.5 GB free hard disk space
Other: Keyboard, mouse, DirectX8.1 (included with install disc),
CD-ROM drive (used only when installing)

*For PlayOnline/FINAL FANTASY XI: Vana'diel Collections, Aht Urhgan, and Wings of the Goddess, it is necessary to use a DVD-ROM drive.

When was FFXI released? I built my p4 2.8gHZ CPU with a Radeon 9700pro and 1gig of RAMBUS memory. All preordered for release back in 2001-2002. So that was basically the tech of the time in 2001-2002 and the stats for FFXI are pretty low. You keep saying you can't compare them but you are crazy to think that FFXIV will need an i7 and high end GPU. By doing that they are killing of 85% of the market.

To be honest I bet the minimum requirement will be a p4 CPU and some mid level GPU like a GTX 9800.

Most likely you are safe on most parts. The one area I would be slightly concerned with would be your videocard. I wouldn't be too hasty in replacing it though. We still do not know exactly what the specs required to run ffxiv will be.

Saying that a gtx260 won't run FFXIV is like saying an Atari won't play pong.

Not that anyone playing ff-anything will go this far.
