Wiki has a pretty good guide to getting FFXI setup for optimal graphics and resolution. If you have a decent video card, you may as well oversample for premium quality and appearance.

Menu > Config > Misc. 2

Change background ratio, probably have it on 4:3.

For some reason when I try to play on 1600 x 900, which is my screen resolution, my Background Overlay(I think, the first option) resets to like 800 x 600, I am assuming this is whats making ***look so zoomed out, but the graphics end up undermatched anyway, so I just play on 800 x 600, not that I really care, but I am curious why this happens, I wouldn't mind playing on 1600 x 900, also if being really zoomed out(HP MP mad small etc etc) is changeable with that I'd like to know

assuming your game is set to same resolution as monitor, aspec ratio under config should be 16:9, not 4:3. 1920x1080 is a 16:9

iirc Windower will override game settings, so it's probably a good idea to check what it's set to in it's config.
