Introduction of the FF-VIII enemy difficulty system to FF-XIV

yeah..im with everyone on this one. monster scaling is a terrible idea. I hated it in ff8, i hated it in oblivion. The idea that a monster levels with you really makes no sense. It would kill exploration/new zones even more so and hinder new players. Not to mention there would be no sense of accomplishment of leveling up and seeing the difference in damage,etc. Not gonna lie, hitting a level 1 marmot for 1.3k+ is pretty awesome/hilarious.

it was different in oblivion. as you leveled different types of mobs show up in the maps so there would be a constent challenge no matter how you play or what level. Morrowwind was similar. Pretty much as you level mobs are replaced It wasn't "the same mob" only stronger. LIke doing kvhatch @ 10 meant you mostly fought those fire creatures. instead of scamps.
