hello RPGers :)

so Final Fantasy 14 has got its release date for PS3, August 27th. but i ve got questions to anybody who has played mmorpg before.
what are they like and how do they work? ive never actually played one although i have always been interested.
does everybody who plays the game all play in the same world and you see each other on the game and can speak to each other.
how does it all work?
