I would love dev acknowledgement of this. I'm just coming back from FFXIV and I really like the flexibility of FFXI's level sync over the way FFXIV does it. However FFXIV has the advantage of redoing instances and even rewards people daily for level syncing to dungeons they've already done and helping possibly new players.

Thats exactly what I want from FFXI. A way to redo old content with my friends without it being trivialized very quickly. At least let level sync be available in missions? Or maybe something that temporarily delevels you?

I want to play the game and be able to invite friends later to adventure with. Without trivializing the experience of older content for them if we so choose to challenge ourselves.
