I've just noticed a difference between the PS2 and PC versions of FFXI, in all the screenshots I've seen of the PS2 version every character and mob has a stencil buffer shadow. In the PC version only your character has a stencil shadow while everything else has a simple "shadow disk" under it.

Check out the screenshots here to see what I'm talking about.
