ffxi has never been hard, it just became less of a time investment. The majority of the playerbase wanted it easier, Well you got your wish, now shut up about it.
Weird, I don't remember the hardest of the hard being soloable in 2005.

No, ffxi was never that hard, but it at least had a little bit of a challenge. It is not just about the time investment. My complaint here is about difficulty. They are two unrelated things.
